Photoshop expert Mara Zebest sent this in: This is so maddening to listen to the media on this recent revelation… it’s such an obvious fake.

Look at the attached JPG… (which shows what you will see when opening the PDF in Illustrator and how to get there)… but to recap… if you open the PDF in Illustrator (instead of Photoshop) – Select the entire document and go to the Object menu and choose Clipping Mask > Release. Repeat as necessary until all clipping masks are released. Also open the Layer and turn off the visibility of each clipping group and you can see all the numerous places in which information was added (edited) into the form.
Lastly, look at the attached 1961 sample image found on the Internet of a legitimate 1961 Hawaii Birth Certificate (which someone posted to show what a real certificate would look like from that year in Hawaii)… look at the marks on this Internet version and you can see this was the template for Obama’s BC handiwork. The handwriting is exactly the same between posted Internet image and Obama’s fake version — the placement of boxes and marks are in the exact same position, dates are where the modified clipping masks occur to adjust dates to fit for Obama, but the handwriting of dates match (except for the clipping mask changes). Even the Cert. number is only off by the last two digits (which…you guessed it… happens to be a clipping mask layer).
Finally, also wanted to make the point that regardless of where Obama is born, he’s still not a Natural Born Citizen since both parents were not born on U.S. soil but I won’t hold my breath waiting for the media to educate the public on this fact. (3 images)

Let's see what the Talking Mouse lady has to say about this.
After seeing that video of the layers...I can see the process of construction.
Having done graphic arts on a couple Video documentaries, I can tell you how I think this doc was created:
A group of birth certificates, or certifications was collected and scanned in as tif, bmp, or jpeg images. All the same format, size, and same pixels per inch brightness and contrast would be adjusted to erase and merge the background info to all white and black images.
The basic document "form" was created, with all blank information. Base layer.
This document would have the lines, fold-curve, and all the form text. The background would be white or transparent.
A prototype would be done by hand to select the pertinent data from the assembled documents/birth certificates. They would also make a prototype map by hand writing the info needed and the doc number they have to pull the info from. So, all the assembled docs/birth certs they had on hand would all be numbered. This would be your source stack of docs...all named and numbered.
On the base form form, the next layer up, each piece of data would be cut from the associated numbered source (bc) document, and carefully placed on the next layer of the base form.
Note: This process can be done in Photoshop, or Gimp. How it's done is that your enlarge it so that it's about 200 to 250% of normal. Then you use the loop or rectangle selection tool to grab it, and copy it. You paste it to the new doc. Normally it always goes to the same location (like the center of the page)...then you click on the fuzzy corner of cut out bit with the position tool, and drag it to the placed you want it to be...and very carefully position it. When it's perfect, you hit enter. Repeat for each item you want to insert
Several layers would be used so that if something were done wrong, they wouldn't have to redo the whole thing, just that layer.'
After all the text was added, then the signatures would be laid down on a new layer the same way. They could come from any source, because you can resize the stuff you electronically cut out.
Now you add the boxes that are checked from an alternate source.
Eventually everything is in place and complete and on their own layer.
Now the entire thing has a final layer, the grid paper. That hides all the previous cut and pasted stuff...
and voila, now you have an "official" document.
A real pro would have "flattened" the image, which would eliminate all the layers, and pull it into one merged-layer document. But somebody forgot to do that last"flatten merge" step.
Note 2: I know how this was done because I had very poor originals to work from, and had to gin up documents using exactly this method...but I was only copying original documents, and it was for a video presentation, and also for lecture overheads. I made 100 to 150 of these types documents, so I got pretty good at it.

On the other hand, all this could be completely meaningless blather because PDF FILES ALL HAVE LAYERS.

I think Goldi tries to think to much.
I'll give you this. Maybe Obama was born in Hawaii. I don't know.
I'm throwing this stuff out there right now so that lots of people can think about it, give their input. Then maybe the truth will come out.
You brought up a good point about layers. I guess it's a good point, as I don't have the software to test it myself.

The above is for you too.
