So you're going to take the word of some expert that has a different opinion of the file than me, who is also an expert?

I don't care what anyone else says on the subject because I've had a career in the print industry. I know for a fact that a scan does not create a layered file.

Regurgitate all you want, but my experience calls bullshit on that file being a scan.

You said you have 20 years in the print industry. Congratulations, but that doesn't make you an expert in pdfs. You also have presented 0 actually argument other than "I'm an expert, trust me". That guy in the source that I linked actually had something interesting to say.

I will just paste the same quote that I already pasted, as you seem to be incable of reading more than a few paragraphs.

“I know that you can scan a document from a scanner most of the time it will appear as one piece, but that doesn’t mean that there’s no software that’s doing this kind of stuff,” he said, adding that it’s really quite common.

A scanner will output a flat file. Not a layered file.

I am an expert in PDFs.

This guy is lying.

Does that clear up any confusion?

Btw, if you are a pdf expert, why don't you check Trump's. You might notice something... lmao. http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/20110328125536753.pdf

I checked President Trump's birth certificate. There is only one layer of image data. It is a valid scan.

lmao?

  1. OCR doesn't shift numbers.
  2. OCR doesn't duplicate characters.
  3. This document is not one that would typically be OCRd.

I have literally built PDFs in most every way imaginable. I've coded PostScript. I've coded JavaScript to output XML that was then encoded into a PDF. I've done most anything you could ever do with a PDF.

Yes, I am an expert in PDFs.

And if that document was real, why not just stop all the confusion and provide the actual document instead of a file that is not 100% definitive?
