The update isn’t to the file. The update is to you. Every time you open that PDF, you re-draw the borders of what is allowed to survive.
So seed the torrent. Share the link. Burn it to a CD if you have to. Because one day, the servers will fail. The clouds will evaporate. But somewhere, on a hard drive in a basement, the Digedags will still be sailing toward the horizon, looking for the next puzzle.
And they will never, ever find the last page.
That is why we update the PDF.
