This is stupid..
Any document that is photographed, photocopied, scanned can be faked.......so can original documents.....
however just because the document released on line may or may not be a layered scanned document doesn't mean the original is faked.
So I totally agree.........there is no "proof" whatsoever that the original document is fake.edit on 27-4-2011 by Logical one because: (no reason given)

It is interesting... The scanned image would appear to have been altered before placing on the green bar background. It looks like it was scanned and then they removed the background so that it would be transparent and placed it on the green bar. This would leave white blurs around the letters due to the anti-aliasing effect of a scanner.
Not sure why there would need to go to such lengths. I don't necessarily buy that the content of the birth certificate is faked, but it seems a little extravegant for them to have gone through so much trouble to remove the original background of the scanned document.

I also find this interesting.
I wish I knew more about certain processes, but I can tell people this;
With certain scanning programs, it treats words and numbers separately than it does pictures.
Here is a description of what OmniPage does (I use it in our office all the time):
OmniPage converts images such as scanned paper documents and PDF files into document file formats used by computer applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe Acrobat, and into HTML.[citation needed] The software is compatible with standard interfaces such as TWAIN and WIA, thereby covering virtually all of the scanner and multi-function devices on the market; it is often bundled with such devices.[citation needed] OmniPage supports more than 120 different languages.[7] The software is marketed in two different versions, one directed mainly to industrial or higher level professionals, which includes a number of additional features including advanced speech software for the production of audio-books, and a more basic version oriented for personal use. Multi-platform versions of the software are also available (which work with the various versions of the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems).[c
I know that here at work it would separate them as layers for easy editing and such and then you can decide to rebuild it as a PDF.
I am not saying it is forged, or not. I am saying that products like these do break up varying items (pics vs text) and layers them for easy editing.
Just an idea.
I personally can not comment on this, but if I was to debunk the "layer" theory, this is where I would check first.edit on 27-4-2011 by mudbeed because: (no reason given)
I would be interested to see incorporation papers for a Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Hawaii. Bet one doesn't exist.
This is no small thing. Also, this "new" Birth Certificate does not have the name or signature of a doctor, just an attendant
This clearly shows (but is subject to `citation` on Wiki) that as of 1978 (up to the date of the actual merger) the maternity part of the hospital was still known as the Kapi`olani Maternity Home.
Therefore this would have been the case in 1961 when BO was born !!!!
So, where did they get the name : KAPIOLANI MATERNITY & GYNECOLOGICAL HOSPITAL ???????????

You people do realize this PDF was created by the Hawaiian Hospital, not the WH, right?
You do realize that Hawaii switched to electric BC records in 2001, right?
You do realize that the hospital uses OCR scanning ( which may require 2, 3 passes[layers] especially with hand writing) on old vaulted originals from before 2001( printed on plain white paper) and places the layers onto new current print stock, right?
You can NEVER obtain your original BC. They will only produce copies( using graphic software or photo-copying, etc. depending on the state procedure) that are designed to meet CURRENT legal requirements ( tamper proof design, watermarks, etc.).
If anyone is at fault, it's the technician at the hospital who didn't flatten the image and then passed it on with the new print out, BC package.~ETA~ or the post below may explain why people are getting layers in Illustrator, I get no layers in Photoshop CS5....
Do you really think that if this conspiracy is real, with all the power that people attribute to it (i.e. numerous people lying, ads in newspapers 50yrs ago, etc.) They would release a doc that can be questioned?
~ETA~ In other words, this is how they make BCs in Hawaii now.......

I don't think you realize how much of a joke you are appearing to 99% of this forum who happen to have critical thinking skills. ITS A FAKE!

Quoting myself here, since people are still not understanding why layers maybe showing up in some programs.
The Hawaiian officials CREATE BCs nowadays. Do you really think the green background is from the '60's?
God people open your heads!!!!!!!!
I'm outta here.......this is useless.......

This I agree with. Different equipment and programs - - generate things differently.
There is a Republican elected official - - who went to the actual health department in Hawaii - - saw the long form herself - - and has verified its existence. I can't remember her name. That works for me.
