Actually, there are much better solutions than an OCR software to ensure that the text is readable. Most OCR solutions are limited in resolution, while professional scanning software has much higher resolution. But that is beside the point. It is not possible that this pdf was generated from a single scan. The original LFBC had a white background (which would have been in the original scan) with the security paper being the stock upon which it was printed. The file released by the White House and presented by various media outlets has a ghosting pattern surrounding the text upon the background. This is not a remnant of OCR scanning or an artifact introduced by Illustrator. For some reason this document was released in an altered state. For what purpose I'm not certain.

I worked with some of the best paper to disk software in this industry, namely Excalibur, which is used regularly by insurance companies and the government to map graphic detail and produce readable text separated from just about any kind of graphic background.

This thread is about the new fake birth certificate. If you want to talk about something else, then feel free to start a topic of your own.

star for you! Has everyone understood this yet? the .pdf is a hospital production the ocr was used yada yada.
the layers doesn't matter, its still a copy, an original copy the hospital uses for their records.
The nuclear fallout has made us all crazy!
McCain never disclosed his birth certificate.

Mccain had to show his BC, which he did immediately. So your whole BCdemand=racism argument is null.
The Nordyke sisters’ birth certificates list the exact same hospital as the one listed on Obama’s certificate, and the birthers point to the Nordyke sisters’ certificates as proof of “a real Hawaiian birth certificate.”

this guy called in to say that apparently the name of the hospital on the released birth certificate wasn't named that until like some years later...I think 1965, yet there it was on THAT birth certificate in the year 1961
