Title: PDF Layers in Obama’s Birth Certificate

We have received several e-mails today calling into question the validity of the PDF that the White House released, namely that there are embedded layers in the document. There are now several other people on the case. We looked into it and dismissed it.

The PDF is composed of multiple images. That’s correct. Using a photo editor or PDF viewer of your choice, you can extract this image data, view it, hide it, etc. But these layers, as they’re being called, aren’t layers in the traditional photo-editing sense of the word. They are, quite literally, pieces of image data that have been positioned in a PDF container. They appear as text but also contain glyphs, dots, lines, boxes, squiggles, and random garbage. They’re not combined or merged in any way. Quite simply, they look like they were created programmatically, not by a human.

What’s plausible is that somewhere along the way — from the scanning device to the PDF-creation software, both of which can perform OCR (optical character recognition) — these partial/pseudo-text images were created and saved. What’s not plausible is that the government spent all this time manufacturing Obama’s birth certificate only to commit the laughably rookie mistake of exporting the layers from Photoshop, or whatever photo editing software they are meant to have used. It’s likely that whoever scanned the birth certificate in Hawaii forgot to turn off the OCR setting on the scanner. Let’s leave it at that.

UPDATE: I’ve confirmed that scanning an image, converting it to a PDF, optimizing that PDF, and then opening it up in Illustrator, does in fact create layers similar to what is seen in the birth certificate PDF. You can try it yourself at home.


Poster Comment:

See, as I pointed out numerous times yesterday, layers are a natural part of a PDF document. You read it here first.

Thanks. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The layers thing is a pathetic attempt to baffle with bullshit when the invented facts get melted away by the light of day of a long form birth certificate release.

No surprise there.

PDF Layers in Obama’s Birth Certificate

This is complete horse shit designed to bamboozle people who don't know squat about computers.

The birth certificate was posted as a .jpg file. Jpeg is a raster graphics format comprised on nothing more than a rectangular grid of pixels (points of color). There isn't any other information in the file.

You cannot reconstruct Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator layes from a .jpg file.

Ok, I found it. It's not a PDF document. The took some type of raster image (bitmap, jpeg, etc) and converted it to a PDF format.

There is no other information in the document.

True. It's one thing to get Dan Rather to screw up because he and his people did not analyze the documents that got him in trouble for word wrapping technology what was not widely used what the alleged documents were allegedly made, it's another to think people don't know what a PDF file is and how that format works.

They are hoping some more attempts at creative lying with bull shit tactics will word to counter the light of day.

But unfortunately for them, people do know and understand explanations about how software works, and the long form still exists and is safely protected from these people who would destroy it to try to make their fairy tales seem like reality where it belongs, in a document vault where real adults can access it as they need it.

Yes, and that makes what you're looking at a PDF document, layers and all.

Really. I made a grocery list yesterday in plain text and converted it to a PDF.

Guess what? It had layers.

As I posted somewhere else, Obama has access to the services of the US Mint. If he wanted to invent a perfect BC he certainly could have done it.

So, playing devils advocate, let's say it is a fake. No one will ever be able to tell, certainly not from a digital image loaded on their computer.

Of course, there's always the simple explanation that this really is a certified copy of the records from Hawaii, but what's the fun in that?

Plain text and vector images are completely different than raster images. This came from a flat raster image containing nothing but pixels.

Anyway, you keep making the mistake of assuming that you can reason with the insane, no amount of evidence will convince some folks that Obama was born in Hawaii.

I did as the fellow on the video who discovered this hoax ask, I went straight to whitehouse.gov and used their cope of the BC, not anyone else. I downloaded it to my PC, then transfered it to my adobe.

Everything he said about this copy was true, it has been tampered with, it has many, many layers added to it, you can watch with your own eyes, lines and layers of answers disappear. This document was built with many layers. I would not have believe it till I saw it with my own eyes and with the BC that came straight from the WH. jmho!

"Of course, there's always the simple explanation that this really is a certified copy of the records from Hawaii, but what's the fun in that?"

This is why it was dangerous for them to assume President Obama would be willing to ignore the birfer fairy tale until election season.

You knew the metaphoric gun was loaded and the document a real one. It was dumb to taunt the people holding it.

Now they are left with the non-existing hope people don't understand how a common piece of software works. They are on shaky ground and look more and more pathetic every day.

And for this they only have themselves to blame.

They should of heeded the old saying about the need to be careful about the tiger you try to ride, because you could wind up in it's belly quite easily.

If everyone will remember, the Republicans tried to discredit Obama from day one when they claimed he wasn't the real President because Roberts flubbed the swearing in. There is a germ in the Conservative mind to worship authority..Œ79; They also link the government with Religion. This goes all the way back to the time of "King and Country" The Republicans KNOW THIS which is why they needed to give permission to their followers to go against the President and not be considered "Disloyal".

It is ridiculous to assume that whoever went to the trouble of layering the BC for whatever reason was so stupid that they forgot to merge the layers is ridiculous. What probably happened is someone forgot to turn off the OCR setting on the scanner.

But you are going to believe what you want to believe, so thanks for demonstrating you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time ;-)

I don't know why, but the document has obviously been altered. Zoom your PDF reader in on the top right where it shows "61 10641" and you would have to be blind not to see the last digit was pasted into the image. It has pixelation typical of a JPG image that the majority of the image doesn't have. There is at least one other occurrence of this in the document.

The question never asked is: why create a PDF file in the first place? Just do a HiRes scan from Hawaii to the White House web page.

The only reason to make it a PDF document is so it can be manipulated, as you noticed.

A simple, one dimensional scan tampered with would have been more obvious. Too many people are watching. Why make the same obvious errors, forgery after forgery? Not even they're that weak.
