I found Ford Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) Status Reporting Guideline, Release Level: 3.2, August 2003
Is it current/up-to-date? Is it last edition?

Does anyone have feedback on this question?

From the Ford Motor Company Customer Specific Requirements (CSR's):

4.14 Planning of Product Realization (ISO/TS 16949:2002 cl. 7.1, 7.3.1, 4.2.1d, 7.3.4.1, 5.4.1, 5.4.2)
Appropriate to the supplier's responsibilities, the organization shall meet the
requirements of the Engineering Statement of Work (available on
https://web.gfss.ford.com )
For all supplier sites with parts launching under the Global Product Development System (GPDS).
Effective 30th January, 2008, the Advanced Product Quality Planning form version 3.2 or 3.1 (Pan Brand) is replaced by Supplier APQP/PPAP Readiness Assessment – Schedule A, see https://web.qpr.ford.com/sta/APQP.html and
https://web.qpr.ford.com/sta/GPDSSupplierEngagement.html on Ford Supplier Portal.

Note: There may be vehicle programs already underway where the APQP versions

3.1 and 3.2 Pan Brand (see https://web.qpr.ford.com/sta/FPDSLaunch.html) are currently in use and this should continue unless otherwise authorized by Ford STA.

Hope this helps.
