It’s nothing. The software used to create the PDF (Mac OSX 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext) has been known to create layers during automatic processing, especially if someone tried to turn OCR on.

Just curious — have you used that software? Are these the types of layers you get with OCR on? http://wireupdate.com/video/2011/04/president-obamas-birth-certificate-pdf-has-layers/ I’ve seen scanning software that puts layers on top, but the base layers has always been a full image of the graphic, not one with pieces separated out like that. In particular, I’ve never seen one that “whites out” part of the base layer. Then again, I am NOT up to speed on scanning software, and the stuff I use is ancient (in computer terms).
