The second page has the actual content with a paragraph explaining that these properties are solely for cold iron weapons, to make them more interesting.
Distracting counts as continuing damage for when a foe is spellcasting, forcing concentration checks.
Grounding affects a foe as if with a dimensional anchor.

Spell Penetrating gives a bonus when using the weapon to deliver a touch-range spell.
Ward Cracking can reduce the AC of a foe who has a bonus to such from spells and spell-like abilities.
#1 With a Bullet Point: 5 Magic Abilities For Cold Iron Weapons in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and with one page of content doesn’t need them. Navigation is fine. The text maintains a three-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a couple of pieces of black and white stock art. Presentation is fine.
Cold iron has an association with being inimical to magic, and these five abilities provide new, thematically consistent (apart from the fact they are magical abilities on cold iron; some might argue that cold iron can’t have magical abilities) abilities to add to weapons using such. #1 With a Bullet Point: 5 Magic Abilities For Cold Iron Weapons is a nice collection of options for cold iron and it can be found by clicking here.
