Google and Microsoft apps sync local files (available offline) to cloud-based corresponding counterparts. But how could I sync a cloud-based "master" file, created and maintained by someone else (currently as a downloadable PDF) to my local machine. So that at any given moment I have the latest copy locally available for printing. Without any more intervention on my part than an initial setup?

Hi Joe, Dropbox SugarSync etc are an obvious solution, but it's not clear to me from your question where the PDF resides on the internet and as such, whether they can be retrieved this way. If the file is accessible via FTP, for example, then running WGET (a utility for retrieving web & FTP files) continuously may be a better option.

I would have to say Dropbox as well. It saves the documents in an offline folder of your choosing as far as I know.
