MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36014' further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript file 'javascript_obj0013_001.js' is likely responsible for executing the exploit. The exact function of the script is not fully discernible due to obfuscation, but it is highly probable that it attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload.
