Just opened it myself in Illustrator and you’re right — it’s layered, and goofily, at that.
I don’t know what it means, but this is definitely “doctored.”
look at the certificate # - on the green doc it shows to be 61 10641. Unlayer it, and look at the pixaliztion on the 1064 “1” on the green. I am just getting started and what I see already is a freaking felony alteration of gov’t documents. There is no way this doc is real or legitimate....red
The question for me is:
If I scan something ELSE in as a PDF, does it create layers? If so, this could be a non-issue.
Software sometimes does funny stuff.
