Good morning Mr. Phelps. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to take this PDF file, store it on a secured hard drive somewhere and never ever use it for any purpose, yet take the chance of violating one or more national or international copyright laws, to which several black SUVs will appear at your place of occupation, and to where several Men in Black to drag you out into the parking lot and do unspeakable things to you. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds .. .. .. .. .. [sizzle sounds]......

They consist of string of punctuation marks. This sample string is somewhat randomized but it is representative. -`,,,,`--`-`,,`,,,`,`,,`,`,,`--,,`-`,`,`,`,,`--- Is this some sort of encoding tied to the order number to validate the purchase of the document?
