It does not answer why PDFs can have virus.
It does. It literally says Yes.
The article starts by unambiguously saying yes and later on gives examples:

> PDFs, like other file formats, can have hidden JavaScript code that might exploit vulnerabilities in a PDF.

and

> Opening a malicious PDF can launch malware that will start up whatever process the hacker has in mind.
