I downloaded and opened that document in Illustrator day one, and I will never believe that to be a real birth certificate...
I did the same thing on the evening of April 27, 2011. Honestly, I felt ill when I saw what you've described.
The bottom line is, even if it's not completely phony, it's still not a birth certificate. It is an electronic .pdf file.

And the .pdf issue brings up yet another big question.
Why would they even post a .pdf ?
A simple .jpg would have stopped much of the speculation dead in its tracks.
There is a wild theory, but will wait to post it.
The pdf WAS put up for a reason. A very big and complicated reason.

You sir, are dangerously close to the truth, I think.
The real story isn't the forgery.
It's the reason for the forgery...

Who claimed it was a real birth certificate? This is one of the things so funny about birthers, they really do not know what they are even looking at!
Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. President Barack Obama's long form birth certificate can be seen here (PDF):
On April 27, 2011 President Barack Obama posted a certified copy of his original Certificate of Live Birth.

and the answer is that these people at least have said it is an authentic certified copy of the original birth certificate:
Director Fuddy further states, "I have witnessed the copying of the certificate and attest to the authenticity of these copies."
White House website is really a copy of President Obama's original birth certificate.
hellobruce
No it would not - remember how he released his Birth Certificates, and all the birthers have been claiming that they are forged.... if he did release his college records birthers would just claim that they were forged.
hellobruce
remember, this is not about any bit of paper Obama releases!
hellobruce
Well, no previous president has released their records -
hellobruce
I notice your records are sealed exactly the same as Obama's, so what are you hiding?
wrong, birthers would then go on and on as to why a jpg and not a PDF.... and would still claim it was forged.
actually, Ms Fuddy publicly verified that the document presented via pdf, was a true and correct copy (although unlawful) of the original, on file, with her Department.

ok, i'll bite, then what is it ?
what is posted on the internet is NOT a certified copy of the birth certificate
yes, please, let's read it again
Read that statement closely, then re-read it and you may understand my point above
Director Fuddy further states, "I have witnessed the copying of the certificate and attest to the authenticity of these copies."
fine, if that's how you feel, then i'll go back to where i began ... it's NON-existant
No real expert would declare a document a fake if they never even saw it
that's already established Federal law and part of the problem here ... HI statute 338.18 (i think, it can be searched) ... is in direct conflict with several Fed regulations dealing with 'public' records. ppl are conceding to the HI statute rather have it officially voided as the Fed regulations supercede.
Just how much does the public have a right to know?
it is an irrelevant question as we are already 'demanded to provide' in order to participate in any govt sponsored event ... education, child rearing, buying property, dying and many others.
And if we do, how do we protect our own privacy if we're putting someone else's on display?
^^^ this, is a sad but common misconception.
Seriously, you know as well as I do that my records -- and YOURS -- are sealed according to laws neither of us had any part in making or implementing

i can appreciate your opinion, but, i don't believe for a minute that it's time to talk about changing what has been the standard, in this country, since its inception.
I was speaking more hypothetically about what such a national discussion might include...
are you serious ?
I didn't know much of this

good, i'm glad i'm not the only one who caught that
raised my arse, hahahahahahaha
i'm still wondering how his campaign got a copy to release ??
according to HI statutes, that shouldn't be possible.
Obviously someone, in fact, produced a fraudulent seal device and applied it to the back of the document. I just suspect it was the Obama camp that did it.
