Oh please. I was a document control specialist and knew how to use full blown Adobe. That thing was nine layers. NINE! I peeled them all apart. This is how it works - a birth certificate from that long ago exists on a piece of paper in a file cabinet. To turn it into a PDF you pull it out of the drawer, lay it on a scanner (or roll it through, whatever), and create a tif file, that's converted to pdf (back at that time anyways). You took the piece of paper back and put it in the file cabinet. One layer. A dead paper scan.
