Whatever is going on, nobody knows. The only thing that is for certain is that this scan was not edited, and anyone who simply says "you are a nut" without ANY evidence or supporting arguments is completely and obviously fighting for and clinging on to a bias. Ego and pride has a way of preventing us from admitting our mistakes.

Call me paranoid but I have a theory as to why such a poor attempt at forgery has been released by the Obama camp.
They knew it would be easily found as a fake by people who no doubt would pick it apart piece by piece.
You know why? Because it is NOT a forgery to begin with. Adobe, who created and have pushed the PDF format as a universal file solution have debunked the idea it is a forgery as have several people in this thread.

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.......

This is the last time I push this up front;
YES!!!!!!! This document was created with the original(plain white) original. That is how they do it in Hawaii now.
They take the original and layer(or layers, depending on how many passes were required using an OCR) it on the current legally acceptable water marked/ tamper proof green back ground. Hasn't anyone noticed it's the same background as the previous short form BC? Did you really think that background exisedt in '61? Or hasn't anyone noticed the dated stamp "April 25/2011"
This is ridiculous!!!!!
Time to play some COD Black Ops.....much less stressful then this crappolla..............

PDFs DON'T HAVE NATURAL LAYERS!! If they did, you couldn't use it cross platform...which is the main advantage of PDFs.
Not being paid either for spreading truth...I don't even like Obama much. I just want to help end the stupidity and make people realize how ridiculous and uninformed the birthers' claims are

Like I said, you can save layers...but you have to do it on purpose. Also, programs like Illustrator can split up a documents into parts without natural layers being present.
The fact remains, opening a PDF in Illustrator isn't proof of forgery. Open a random PDF in Illustrator, try it yourself. Depending on the scanning software used, it can also create layers automatically when creating a PDF by separating the background (or what it considers to be the background) from the text or pics. It's a pretty cool feature that can make it a lot easier to work on files after you scanned them

OP has a valid point. If it were scanned it would be scanned or 'rasterized' as one layer. Being able to "pull" it apart in different layers, as OP has done, means that when they converted the AI file to PDF the layers had not been rasterized into one layer. I believe adobe has this function so you can go back an easily re-edit your work as you left it. I am no pro at graphics design, but I can poke my way around the adobe creative suit enough to get by.

Now here is a real conspiracy, just noticed that Connector and myself both registered on ATS on the very same day!!!!! What up with that? I want ATS to show our "birth certificates" to prove we are not the same person. Since Donald Trump is available, maybe he can help spearhead the effort?
