MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning and phishing. The document body mentions a book download, which is likely a lure to encourage users to click on these malicious links. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports the phishing and malicious download intent.
