Sniffing network traffic of IoT device.

First want to say very new to this kind of thing so please explain like I have no idea what anything means. I’m trying to sniff the network traffic of an IoT device. I don’t know if it uses HTTP or HTTPS. I know if it uses HTTPS I’m pretty much out of luck. Would this tutorial work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl0IpoS503A The device connects straight to the the wifi and doesn’t pass traffic through a phone. I ask if this tutorial is good as right now my built in network adapter doesn’t support monitor mode and I need to get one so can’t test in the mean time. The device in question is https://www.thehandy.com/ [NSFW ish link]

How to know if a .pdf contains malware?

I read somewhere that .pdf files can contain javascript file that run when opened. There is a very good computer science book I wanted to read about computer architecture, but of course it’s $40 and I don’t have that money at the moment. So logically I search for a free PDF version, but remember that fact, I am now scared to open it. Is there anyway to detect if the file contains malware, and then remove it if so.
