Schooled!

Sorry stupaod, but you could not be more wrong if you werr trying to sell bacon sandwiches in Tehran. No human forger would create those layers. From the perspective of a forgery, they are idiotic. What HUMAN forger would (for example) extract a PIECE of a single cursive letter from a signature and put it in a different layer? What HUMAN forger would create two out of the 8 monochrome bitmasks and fill them with meaningless blobs and squiggles? What HUMAN forger would put Barack Obama's entire name in one layer... except for a single "R" in a different one? No... these are non-intelligent compression algorithms making those otherwise irremediable stupid choices. The document is absolutely authentic.— May 13, 2011 3:25 p.m.

I hope certainly hope that whoever is grading this "student report" is more competent than these students... because as far as a technical analysis goes, it's failing work. For example, one only needs to go into the PDF meta data (object IDs 36 0, 33 0, and 1 0) to see that it was created using Apple Preview on a Mac OS X 10.6.7 system. The PDF encoder was "Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext" (that's the back-end system library on a Mac). Certainly the whiz-kids at "High Tech High" bothered to check that out. You think? For the non whiz-kids, what does all that mean? It means not only was this NOT Photoshopped, no Adobe front-end application to include Illustrator ever TOUCHED the file. It is just an ordinary scan into a PDF... "layers" and all. If they had bothered to analyze the first birth certificate that Trump "released" they'd have seen the exact same things. It's not a forgery. It's the real deal.— May 13, 2011 9:17 a.m.
