I opened up Illustrator and the long-form & found what OP mentioned.
Then I opened a random PDF I had created myself - which I knew was from a single image.
Illustrator randomly broke down my single image into different parts, which I could easily select and hide from view, as he has done here. My single image was broken into at least FIFTY parts - BY THE PROGRAM. I opened up several different PDF files to confirm - and every single one did the exact same thing.
This is something that Illustrator does for editing purposes. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the birth certificate itself.
This is a screenshot of what the long-form b.c. looks like when I open it in Illustrator (I trimmed both images or else they would be too big):

And here is my random PDF file:
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/d315facbf18a.gif[/atsimg]
I *know* that my file is a single page of text, but Illustrator breaks it down into many, many pieces. The only reason my document is broken down into text pieces & the b.c. shows "clipping paths" is that Illustrator doesn't recognize the old typewriter as any known font.
I hope the OP just doesn't really understand his program and is not intentionally pulling a hoax on ATS.

I knew it was fake to begin with.
Listen If I was the president and there was nothing to hide the first day someone came out and said something it would have been released that day with a yes and what is next.
I would not have hired attorneys and spent million of tax payer dollars to prevent its release.
WHY??
Because it is a fake plain and simple .People are gonna believe what they want to belive ..Me, I think it is fake just because the way he handled it and nothing more.
Fake BS fraud

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.
BULL! Who are you and how much are they paying you?

Sorry, you are incorrect.
Uh dude, you can bring the file in Illustrator and see for yourself. You don't understand how digital forgery works.
Perhaps you will want to rescind this statement once you figure out whats going on.
You cannot open a scanned document into illustrator and decide whether or not a document is forged.
Sorry, you are incorrect.
The scanned result is a non-compressed RGB image, which can be transferred to a computer's memory.

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 ???????????

Haha this just gets better and better! Thanks for that

A scanner will digitize an image into one layer.
This image is in several layers. Each layer contains a section of the overall image, and each layer is separate. Each component was obtained independently, and then they were all put together similar to if you had several sheets of transparencies for an overhead projector. Once they are all stacked together, it looks as if they are all part of the same image.
What this means is that the document has been forged, pieces of it coming from several different independent sources.
Period.

Connector is correct here. Thanks for pushing your post back up again. I was getting too absorbed in the technical details of scanning software and the artifacts they can create, etc....

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.......
God this crap will never end.......as the world sinks into oblivionedit on 27-4-2011 by Connector because: (no reason given)
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.......

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, and repeat yet once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Opening any arbitrary PDF file in Adobe Illustrator other than PDF files saved in that version of later of Adobe Illustrator with the editability option (which saves the Illustrator document editing data as private data within the PDF file) may result in content loss or corruption.
___
PDF layers are part of an overall feature known as optional content in PDF and are conceptually very different than Illustrator layers. Since PDF optional content features in general are very much a superset of Illustrator layers (PDFMaker for PowerPoint uses optional content to handle certain slide build features, for example), there would be no easy way for Illustrator to readily pick and choose what optional content features to support and translate. As such, don't expect this to be "rectified" in any way in future Illustrator releases.
(To make things even more interesting, both PDF and Illustrator layers are very different than Photoshop layers which allow for defined interactions between layers such as masking!)

Your PDF is all plain text, Illustrator recognizes the text...What is happening the the BC PDF is totally different...there is a lot of masking going on...see the groups and the clipping paths? Those do not exist in your PDF. Those are clearly done by a person. Try changing each group's visibility one by one and you'll see that only the important data dissapears
