Basically, if you have any photo editing experience, a picture you're editing (or creating) can have layers. A background layer, a text layer, an object layer... as many layers as you'd like to make. It makes assembling a picture MUCH easier, because each layer can be made to be something different you're working on (ie. You design a background, and make a text layer so you can freely move around the text where you want it.) Then when you're done, you can rasterize the layers back into a solid state to make a Jpeg or whatever format you like.

If in fact this was a non-altered document, it wouldn't have these separate layers. Even if the PDF software tried to discern the text, it wouldn't have created background and object layers.

This is a gigantic, laughable fraud. It's so terrible, it was most certainly done this way on purpose.

Yeah, like they were using "African" as a race in 1961.  THe non-PC word used back then was "negro."

Most certainly. The hospital's name is incorrect as it had since changed. But all of that aside, this document is 100% fake. It's been edited, and proven so. Anyone with illustrator can prove it themselves.

Everything aside, the document is a fake. That doesn't prove he was born in Kenya, but it definitely proves he's playing a game. Perhaps he has a legitimate one, and edited it so that he could continue this distraction. I don't know. But this document is completely fraudulent.

The document is definitely edited, but why?  Probably listed a different name for 'father' is what I would guess.

I think the birther issue is a distraction.  There are a lot of good reasons to vote this guy out in 2012.  This just distracts from the rest of the facts.

No, this document was CREATED. From the ground up. I'm not saying this proves he's a foreigner. But they created a background, object and text layer. This document was made from scratch. Perhaps it's a replica of his actual BC, so he can keep this going until he's forced to give an actual one. I don't know. But this is a fake.

Sometimes, people have a child, and want to have a notification printed in another place, like one of the parent's hometowns, because they still have family there that would like to see a birth announcement.

When my sister had a baby in NC, there were a few papers in FL that printed it, because she called them and asked them to print it.

If O's mom was worried his daddy was about to take him back to Kenya, she could have easily pulled that stunt to help solidify the lie that he was "born here".

All I can say, is I opened the .pdf in Adobe Illustrator as well, and saw the exact same thing.  The layers are really strange, where some will contain many words, minus one letter in the middle, for instance.

The one letter that remains, is anti-aliased, and all the other letters are not anti-aliased.  There is NO reason the document should contain both AA and non-AA text, at all, let alone within the same sentence.

Notice how when you hide a layer, it's white behind it? If it was truly forged, you wouldn't see any of the background missing. It's white because it doesn't know what's behind the text BECAUSE THE TEXT WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS SCANNED."

I did find it odd that the green background (true paper, or whatever it is called) was white in the areas where there was text.

Yes the only way to remove background from a scanned document is to go into photoshop or similar program and manually erase it.

Yes, in fact the scanner at work does this. I'm also quite sure they will claim this.

However, it doesn't create background layers and expanded canvases. And it doesn't separate shape layers. Even so, it wouldn't have been scanned so sloppily considering how much of an issue this was. A couple of other things to note. They've tried to add writing to the left side in the "bind" to lend to the illusion that this was part of a book of birth certs. However, some of the lines with cut off text in the bind weren't boxes that required any writing at all.

This a fake. And a bad one. Definitely done on purpose.

Scan a document into a .PDF file and open it up in Adobe Reader. Just one layer.  I showed this video to my neighbor who works in reader as part of their job and my neighbor said it was a fake.

Disclaimere. I scan documents from time to time and know little more than that when it comes to Reader.  However, my neighbor isn't stupid and I take their word for what they are  saying.
