I have a good example on my home computer I can post tonight. It was from a completely unrelated FBI FOIA document that was discussed on FR a few weeks back, it had some funny OCR results and I posted an image of this. I'll post tonight.
It’s posted on YouTube. Wonder how long it will be up before the O-bots take it down?
Posts like your are the exact reason we are going to lose the election and Obama will win 4 more years.
And you will have no one to blame but yourselves.
We need to focus on a serious candidate to challenge him and hammer him on the REAL ISSUES, the economy, his lack of foreign policy, his tax increases and his jobs killing anti-business agenda.
You guys keep howling about the birth cert, nominate some halfwit, birther and I guarantee all of you he will win.
“From what I’m hearing, Sean, Glenn and Rush are on the “forget about the BC” bandwagon. I don’t see how this can get legs without support from our own side?”
They have always ignored it or, when addressing it, been either skeptical or condescending to the issue. The issue got legs with Trump’s willingness to pound it relentlessly in the face of opposition from the State Controlled Media. And with the early sale of Corsi’s forthcoming book and new polling, Obozo knew the issue was growing (without the help of talk radio) and that he had to try to derail the issue.
I understand that a caller to Rush Limbaugh's show today said pretty much the same thing about the layered nature of the document.
Please recall as well that the earlier CERTIFICATIONS of Live Birth posted on pro-Obama web sites in 2008 were detected by Polarik to be layered as well. So we have different documents but similar techniques of fraud.

The only way that this is going to get legs, if Trump comes out with document experts to prove this is a fraud.

Yes. And MacDaddy’s monumental efforts to hide his past. The public is interested in this issue and Obummer has a duty to prove he’s eligible.
He needs to be hammered on the economy, loss of jobs, inflation, high price of gasoline, needless foreign entanglements, appointment of commies to high positions, and explain why he is hiding his past.
Come on...... you are spoiling a lot of fun for everyone by asking us to drill down to reality.
I want to be able to open up the “Properties” box and see Dan Rather as the author. I want to hold the pdf up to a mirror and see “Ayers Wrote this Book” in a hidden watermark.
Can’t there be others barely visible in this pdf just beyond the vegation on the grassy knoll?

LOL, reminds me of the fake one Something Awful was pushing a few years ago where the watermark was in Dutch and translated something like "Birthers are crazy". People need to understand that there are a lot of jokers out there (President included) who have been pushing crazy theories as a joke. Anonymous (the hackers) called this the "IRL hack of a lifetime" and Something Awful has been responsible for floating several fakes they later mocked people for believing. There also is the "African Press International" and Obama snippets jokes people believed for a while. There are a lot of Internet pranksters playing games with this and it is helpful to be as skpetical about what you want to believe as you are with what the Prez is pushing.
You know that’s the problem I have with this. They could have done better. This makes me think they wanted to stir the pot so they made this doc look questionable. Another thread explained that this was likely scanned off of a negative so a staffer may have tried to enhance the clarity by touching up the doc. They had to know any enhancement for legibility would be questioned but they did it without comment. They could have had the person who scanned it, touched it up, stand there at the press release and say how the image was made. But - instead they release a doc with layers etc. knowing what kind of blowback they would get so they can then play victim.
Thank you, justiceseeker93.

Thank you, justiceseeker93.
I think it is settled. There are few on our forum that will vote to re-elect our President, now.
It is such a shame as his Marxist policies have been so very successful.
FReepers can multi-task.
The birth certificate is the story of the day, so we’re talking about it. It doesn’t preclude discussion of (and work on) other topics and events.
0bama will NOT win 4 more years. And he will NOT raise a billion dollars in campaign contributions like the media keep repeating.
But scanners can also be used by a particular program for a digital file size that is much more manageable.
If you open standard adobe acrobat or any of the higher grade forms of Adobe Acrobat above the free “reader” you have choices of how to create a pdf. One of those choices is with a scanner to “read” or “scan” the document. As you point out it automatically can deploy “OCR” (optical character recognition) to turn some of the intense graphic information into more compactly rendered digital information.
If posters have Adobe Standard they can open the create a pdf from a scanner and follow along. Under that choice, they can open a screen called “Configure Presets” where options such as “Make Searchable (Run OCR)” are configured in the standard addition to be automatically selected unless you turn it off.
Secondly, they can then open the Optimization Options sub-menu and then they see the options automatically selected:
Deskew: Automatic
Background Removal: Low (But still turned on for OCR changes, guys)
Edge Shadow Removal: Cautious (But still turned on gang)
Despeckle: Low (But still turned on)
Descreen: Automatic (on by default but who knows what this alters)
Halo Removal: On (We already knew the Marxist didn't have a Halo so this matters only a little)
What you have pointed out and even a neophyte like me can see by opening the program is that there is a reason why an Adobe Acrobat program can turn a 2mb scan into a 350kb pdf and that reason is that it automatically manipulates the image. In summary, if a person wants to make a reasonable size electronic version of a document and starts by opening Adobe Acrobat Standard, the default settings for the program produce the missing background looking like white-out, it produces the OCR where the program picks and chooses based upon recognition all or part of words to render as Test and other portions to render as pixels, and lastly probably does a lot a things that aren't inconsistent with leaving layers as observable from someone else opening the document.
This is especially true if we want to find an observed forgery. When we are surrounded by nails, every tool begins to look like a hammer.

Hot off the FReeper Press!
Get your copy now...LOL!
Nathan Goulding of National Review says that those “embedded layers” visible in a PDF viewer are a result of having scanned a hardcopy and converting it to PDF: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/265767/pdf-layers-obamas-birth-certificate-nathan-goulding
