I downloaded some pdfs from there and according to virustotal and some pdf online scanner i tried, they have something possibly malicious going on in them. I already deleted them but i opened them in firefox pdf reader. I dont have acrobat installed.
Scanning my system with malwarebytes now, but nothing is finding anything wrong and I havent seen any suspicious activity.
None of the activity looks hugely out of place for opening a pdf. My advice would be to take a known safe pdf, upload that to virustotal and compare the activity results and see how different they are if at all.
There might be differences based on pdf content so best to try and find a similar pdf (images, urls, etc)

This was good advice. I did that with another pdf and it does look similar.
