This PDF malware is being spammed heavily through email and it appears to be an attachment. This PDF Exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability on URI handling PDF file. This vulnerability affects IE7, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader on some platforms.

Even if it appears to come from someone you know, it's still not guaranteed to be safe, so the best rule is to virus scan all attachments, especially unexpected ones. And what Sam said.
