How to analyze malicious PDF?
You can detonate it into a VM running an instance of Cuckoo Sandbox. If you want to go the extra mile, you can dump the memory of said VM and analyse it with Volatility Framework. Also, if you want to quickly identify behavioural patterns in executable code, you can use Mandiant's CAPA tool (though idk if it works on .pdfs).
