HOW ABOUT A PENGUIN INSTEAD?

Yep, the date and time are recorded at the time of creation of the .pdf
Normally there is more info. Like user or computer name etc.
All this tells me is that it was done on a Mac and the date/time stamp.
I did not look at all details of the .pdf when I unzipped it using PDFTK only what was quickly visible.
The reason he will never release the original document, if it exists, is that the original birth name is not Barrack H. Obama, II.
Manual, electric or Selectric?
Manual, electric or Selectric?
Irregularity in the texture of the paper, the typewriter ribbon, the fold of the typewriter ribbon, the amount of ink that was on the typewriter ribbon, the amount of dust or small-paper-bits residue that was on the original piece of paper, the amount of pressure applied by the typist striking the typewriter key, the speed at which the typewriter key was struck, or some combination of the above.
The Certificate of Live Birth generally has more information which is useful for genealogical purposes as compared to the Certification of Live Birth which is a computer-generated printout that provides specific details of a person’s birth. Although original birth certificates (Certificates of Live Birth) are preferred for their greater detail, the State Department of Health (DOH) no longer issues Certificates of Live Birth. When a request is made for a copy of a birth certificate, the DOH issues a Certification of Live Birth.
I don't pretend to know how it all works out when run through the mill, I just throw it out here for informational purposes.
Depending on the processing of the image, the whitish outline around the letters could conceivably have been generated when the document was scanned and converted to a digital image. It could have conceivably been generated by converting the original scanned image into a different format. Or, it’s possible that the process the Hawaii Dept of Health used to generate the certificate is done by taking a photograph of the original page, imperfectly removing white space, overlaying that digitally onto a digital security-paper background and then laser-printing the result. It is curious that the outline exists, but in light of the fact that we have a letter from the Director of the Hawaii State Health Department attesting to the authenticity of the document, it seems highly unlikely to me that there’s any forgery involved at least on the White House end of things. Forgery on the Hawaii end of things is of course possible, but would have to be a pretty significant conspiracy. If anyone wants to make that case they can certainly do so, but without some extremely hard evidence it’s likely to be a very, very hard sell to the country in general.
As noted elsewhere, unless anybody can demonstrate that the certificate posted by the White House is not one of the two copies that accompanied the letter from Hawaii Dept of Health Director Loretta J Fuddy, visible here:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-correspondence.pdf
...OR that the letter from Loretta J Fuddy is itself a forgery (which appears highly unlikely), then the lack of an embossed seal is completely irrelevant, since we have a personal letter from no less than the Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health testifying as to the certificate’s authenticity.
I know you’d like to believe the certificate released today is a fake, but the simple lack of an embossed seal, as far as I can see, does not support that belief in light of the existence of Ms. Fuddy’s letter.
I would think that all of this would've been typed at the same time.
Or maybe it's just a lousy photoshop...

By contrast, the initial document released by Obama was a "Certification of Live Birth" - an abstract, only.
The fact remains that there are still many unresolved and intentionally hidden details about Obama's history. The release of this document does not change that. It may be difficult to admit when you've been snookered by a con man - but I think we'd all be wise to do so now and move on to real issues.
Because the birth certificate has been faked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hUqNHBA3o8
The embossed seal is difficult to see, but I can see the circular pattern in the lower left of the certificate.
The signatures of the Director of Health and the Registrar General are NOT from 1961, they are from 1966, on the bottom of the paper that included the copy of the 1961 certificate. Those signatures are certifying that the COLB is authentic. Just as the signature of State Registrar is included on the bottom of the paper that included the copy of Obama's 1961 certificate, certifying that it is authentic.
I swear some people just don't think. In 1966, these records were not digitized. So when the Nordyke's requested a copy of their BC, thats what they got, a "True and Correct Copy" of the actual certificate on file.
2 years ago, the COLB that Obama released was the short form, which took the digitized data and printed it on a 2001 version of the form, hence it was an "Abstract" of the original document. Yesterday, he released a "True Copy" of the actual document on record.
The stamp was made to apply to either the CertificaTION of the type that was released 2 years ago, or the CertificaTE of the type that was released yesterday.
It really is not that difficult to understand. There are still valid questions about his eligibility based on the nationality of his father, but continued insistence that his BC's are forgeries is simply asinine!
The document was scanned by the White House into a .pdf, and the program doing the scanning attempted to perform an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the document to isolate the text in the document. It is a way to scan a document and get editable text from it.
The document was not faked.
2 years ago, COLB stood for "Certification of Live Birth" and we heard all about the difference between a Certificate and a Certification. Thats why the Certificate was demanded.
Check out this site. It has both documents, the CertificaTION of Live Birth released 2 years ago, and the CertificaTE of Live Birth released yesterday. There is a difference, in name and in content. And these images are before the WH added green security hash.
Or because the actual original document is bound in a book in the records office and will never be released. What was released yesterday was a copy of that document.
You couldn't get a passport with the digital image.
What is needed is a hard-copy examined by the FBI.
