Downloaded potentially infected pdf file

I received an email form a source claiming to be the App Store and downloaded a pdf file that was supposed to be a receipt for a purchase from the App Store. Is there a way to check if this had an any malicious code that is now on my phone?

A PDF file can not affect your iPhone.

Such scam emails rely on the user providing their personal or financial information at a bogus site.
