Please study up on “OCR”

Most scanners can employ a text recognition feature.

Certain characters will be recognized as text, others will not and will be considered as part of the background paper. Thus the different pixels.

While studying up on OCR, I saw nothing about pixel size being changed!!!

OCR is only necessary when scanning into a document editor such as MSWORD or Pages. Why would ANYONE scan this as an editable document, simply to print it to PDF?

OCR doesn’t come into play here...

Also, note. The pdf file on Whitehouse.gov currently is no longer the original. The current one was created at 12:29pm on April 27. It is now a flat file, and no longer layers in Illustrator... Why the need to do that?

Yet, this document was not scanned as OCR, since there is no selectable text in the layers. Every layer is a simple image layer.

Yes, but why would one consistent number have the last number show as completely different? Wouldn’t it see every number in that sequence as the same?

I’m not an expert in programs, but I do know how to use them. I found it very strange to see the different pix-elation in that number 1 at the end.

I wonder how the Donald is coming along with analyzing this document?

You haven’t actually looked at the layers of this particular document, have you?

Words of text in the same text box are split into different layers, portions of signatures are split into different layers. IOW, the way this document is split into layers explodes your theory, it seems.

Carried to the extreme, this may be true, however, in practice it rarely happens. This explanation falls apart totally when you examine the text. The character outlines are terrible. This would not happen if OCR were recognizing these as text characters. The OCR would correct any flaws in the outlines. The quality of the text characters indicate that OCR was not an element involved in the scanning of this document.

I just scanned my sons birth certificate and then enlarged it. All the pixels around the text and the text are the same.

The White house knows that the document would come under immediate suspicion. This leads me to two conclusions:

1. The document is a poor forgery and no one in the white house knows much about forging a computer generated form. You really can not call up the FBI and ask them to make a good forgery for you.

OR

2. This is a good document that has been modified to give a varying pixel count and this was done just to stir up controversy and make our side look bad.
