“Are you saying the TXE proves this document is real or the opposite”
TXE proves that the “two layers” are caused by the scan2pdf software.If you examine the PDF as a binary file you will see, that the first layer with the foreground was generated by the scan spftwares OCR engine to make the document indexable/searchable. OCR software mistakes letters or doesn’t recognize em sometimes. So what happened is: The software tried to seperate the foreground from the background. Some letters were not recognized at all and remained on the background. Other “blocks” got refractured into “images” like parts of the signaturs, lines and letters into “digital” letters. Therby a H was mistaken for a X by the OCR engine which can easily happen. This also explains why some letters look somehow odd/different. You can verify this easily using a program like hexdump on the pdf and the PDF spec.
OK - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, while can see that the H was mistaken for an X, I have limited understanding on PDF binary files and still do not know if this gives weight to this document being a fraud or it if supports it as being authentic and credible.
Please excuse my ignorance, but if you can clarify that, I’d appreciate it. Thx so much !
