What should I do?

Dear Unincorporated Corrections:

Not many people know that PDF BOOKS always flow to newer page numbers, even if those numbers have shifted due to shifty characters (if you get my drift).

Combined with my previous paragraph (that would make two), the newer Sharpies and White-Out both use DRM-protected proprietary coding that does NOT flow with the text as do PDF BOOKS.

My advice: Throw away the Sharpies and White-Outs.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bad Advice
