I downloaded a PDF from a forum, and after checking it on VirusTotal, it flagged as a phishing document. I'm using an Android phone and I haven't connected it to my laptop yet. I disconnected from Wi-Fi and am on mobile data now. I'm unsure what steps to take next since I'm not really tech-savvy. Can anyone help me figure out what I should do?

It looks like that PDF is geared towards Windows systems. If you haven’t opened it on your phone, I’d say just delete it and don’t worry too much. Better safe than sorry!
Since it’s phishing, as long as you didn’t click any links in it or enter any credentials, you should be okay. But make sure to delete it immediately, just in case!
I opened the PDF.
I did not open it on my laptop, I only opened it on my phone. I deleted the file from my phone too.
