Is this the most recent version?
This pdf has a date at the bottom of the page of the day that the file was generated from the Society Marshal's rules wiki, so you will know how up-to-date your hard copy or file of the rules is.
Updates to the content (including fixing typographical errors) and alterations to the coding behind the pdf creation will trigger a new pdf to be available from that link. Any changes to the actual rules will be documented in the change log.
We don't recommend saving copies of the pdf to other locations, as they will become out of date when the wiki is updated with rule changes. Use a bookmark or save the link instead.
