MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or a method to distribute malicious content indirectly. The document body mentions 'Camps bay high school application forms 2020', suggesting a lure to trick users into clicking the embedded links.
