Let's get something straight. This video is one of several publicized and refuted "got'cha!" attempts that fails to take into account the fundamental way in which image editing software works. In particular, PDF scanning software always tries to separate things such as text, graphics, colors, grayscale and backgrounds into different layers, then uses different compression algorithms for the different aspects of the document because different algorithms work more efficiently for different types of image data. For that matter, putting stock in a knuckle-dragger's opinion in some homemade video without any foreknowledge of the programs in question used is straight-faced confirmation bias and willful ignorance. It also says nothing of the original copy of Obama's short form birth certificate. FactCheck, an independent organization dedicated to reporting and verifying information related to political statements and questions, reports...
FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A., just as he has always said.
Prominent, reputable figures with years of experience in the industry, such as Nathan Goulding of the National Review, concur.
What’s plausible is that somewhere along the way — from the scanning device to the PDF-creation software, both of which can perform OCR (optical character recognition) — these partial/pseudo-text images were created and saved. What’s not plausible is that the government spent all this time manufacturing Obama’s birth certificate only to commit the laughably rookie mistake of exporting the layers from Photoshop, or whatever photo editing software they are meant to have used. It’s likely that whoever scanned the birth certificate in Hawaii forgot to turn off the OCR setting on the scanner. I’ve confirmed that scanning an image, converting it to a PDF, optimizing that PDF, and then opening it up in Illustrator, does in fact create layers similar to what is seen in the birth certificate PDF. You can try it yourself at home.
The video above really only serves to demonstrate that a case made on hollow ground, no matter how exhaustive, is fundamentally flawed. It's really no more than a poorly-concealed strawman. It blows down a house of cards that doesn't exist.
and yet when the man in the video tries to do the same thing with another birth certificate it doesn't work... He actually addresses exactly what you just said and he proves your theory wrong.
Except things do in fact add up under scrutiny, which constitutes the nearly unanimous consensus from tech and industry experts and independent fact-checking organizations. I've responded directly to the thoroughly refuted allegation that the White House's online PDF copy was questionable on the basis of the existence of multiple layers in the file in a previous comment, specifically in referencing Nathan Goulding's assessment of the copy in question.
Reputable people who doubt the authenticity..
LT Colonel Terry Lakin
The court-martial of Terry Lakin took place over December 14–16, 2010. Doctor Terry Lakin, a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, announced that he would refuse deployment, and subsequently refused to deploy to Afghanistan because of his concerns over President Obama's alleged constitutional eligibility to be president. It was Lakin's hope that he could request a copy of Obama's birth certificate as part of a court-martial, a goal that had eluded previous military defendants. Lakin had the support of three retired American generals, two of whom were working for Fox News at the time.

That's completely and demonstrably false, and it's missing the overall point. Download some image editing software from Adobe, scan a given image, convert it to a PDF file, optimize that file, and open it up in Illustrator. It'll create different layers in the presence of an OCR scan. The image the individual in the video saved was a .jpg file, which uses compression and changes an image's properties. You're not going to get the same results.
"Many" is a term that misleadingly implies a large body of opposing views. That's patently false relative to those that correctly and justifiably believe the overall consensus.
Certainly, considering Obama's pre-election release of his official Hawaiian birth certificate in 2008, confirmation based on the original documents by the Hawaii Department of Health, the subsequent release of a certified copy of Obama's original Certificate of Live Birth, which has also been confirmed as authentic, and contemporaneous birth announcements published in two Hawaii newspapers at the time of Obama's birth... Alongside the obvious fact that a government conspiracy so thoroughly devoted to convincingly forging Obama's documents wouldn't make a mistake so fundamentally novice as exporting layers from a common image editing program, which by itself is comically ridiculous.

Liza, I'm not asking to you agree with us, I'm just asking you to stop slandering our quest for truth. You talk about this like it's completely unquestionable when in fact there are experts who have staked their careers on the fact this is a forgery. Again, you don't have to agree but this is far from some absurd theory parading around social media. Obviously a professional forensic document examiner is a little more credible than your assertions.
Arpaio's Cold Case Posse was later proven to be flatly lying about several crucial details that it built its case on in its July 17 news conference. For instance, the 1961 Vital Statistics Instruction Manual that Arpaio and his team claimed to possess contradicted what they claimed it said, and images shown by them, purportedly from that manual, were instead from computer specifications dated 1968 and 1969. Arpaio's team was anything but independent -- they were direct extensions of Arpaio's preconceived notions, and they were willing to lie outright in the name of discrediting the president.
How in the world does that qualify as a legitimate opposing opinion? How? How, though? Really. How? I'm frustrated and perplexed by your willingness to accept such blatantly dubious material.
…Based on my observations and findings, it is clear that the Certificate of Live Birth I examined is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate, but a digitally manufactured document created by utilizing material from various sources. In over 20 years of examining documentation of various types, I have never seen a document that is so seriously questionable in so many respects. In my opinion, the birth certificate is entirely fabricated.

You expect me to believe that Reed Hayes is lying? why would he jeopardize his career? He does this for a living...
I am equally as perplexed. You don't want to look at the evidence you want to discredit it. You don't look at anything objectively. If you did you would watch a video sometime explaining the impossible physics occurring on tower 7, particularly the 100 feet of constant accelerated free fall that can only occur if there is nothing beneath the object, in this case it's a steel high rise, but you don't want to see that, all you really want is to find something to cling to, some twist, ANY twist to discredit the information at hand.
lol perplexed by my acceptance of such dubious material. From expert forensic analysis, to Adobe experts, to a LT Colonel who got court marshaled over exactly his doubts of Obama's citizenship.. That's about as good as it gets.. We can go further to Obama stating it, his wife stating it, and Kenya posting signs about it, but we can discredit all of that. Obama was joking, we misunderstood his wife, Kenya is REALLY proud of Obama sr. Umm the forensic analysis.. a little tricker. the Adobe expert? hmmm the Lt Colonel? maybe he just didn't want to go and wanted an excuse to lose everything..
I also mentioned that this certificate of live birth includes information that was not brought forth until 3-4 decades ago. With that information, one can easily conclude alone his certificate was fake without looking at photoshop skills either.
Since it was plainly shown that Hayes' team was in fact lying based on photographed evidence that directly contradicted Arpaio's press release statements after the conclusion to his "investigation," I frankly do expect you to believe that he was lying.
