Then you'll have absolutely no difficulty in explaining exactly why, after spending many hours producing a lower-resolution forgery PDF, somebody also spent even more hours producing a high-resolution forgery as well.
See post # 147.
Oh, and you'll also have absolutely no difficulty in explaining exactly why someone felt it was necessary to manually copy approximately 50 apparently random letters and checkboxes in the PDF file (which are to-the-pixel identical to other letters and checkboxes in the image) rather than simply scanning in a real form, or using the image of a form already scanned.
Or why the now fact that such duplication to the pixel of letters is now KNOWN AND CONFIRMED to be an artifact of scanning and optimizing documents (see my recent pings for details.)
By the way, PA Engineer, I would appreciate an apology for your baseless ad hominem attack on me.
That could be explained by reversing the order. The forgery, if there was one, was done on white background (unlike many of the theories floating around this place). Then it was reduced, blurred somewhat and copied onto the green hash paper in a final step (similar to the normal process of printing the scanned original onto new green hash paper).
A logical question would then be, why release the high res, plain paper forgery when it could lead people to the process used to make the final forgery?

That’s what I’ve been thinking also. Then I came across the following. I trust Mara Zebest....
Photoshop Expert And Author Mara Zebest Declares That Obama’s Latest Hawaiian Birth Certificate Is A Complete Phony...
“It’s absolutely a fake!” declares Mara Zebest, author of several books on how to use computers and alter documents.” In fact, Zebeth has co-authored no less than 17 books on the subject of advanced computer graphics, at least one of which sit on the shelves of virtually every advanced photoshop user in every English-speaking country.”
This is not just “a professional” earning a salary, somewhere - Zebeth is professionally respected by everyone in the business, even those who learned the program from the very beginning, long before she began writing, yours truly included. Her credibility is beyond any question.
“There’s all this evidence showing the document was build from different sources.”
“On several sites an online treatise by Zebeth is quoted as saying, “This is so maddening to listen to the media on this recent revelation… it’s such an obvious fake.... Lastly, look at the attached 1961 sample image found on the Internet of a legitimate 1961 Hawaii Birth Certificate (which someone posted to show what a real certificate would look like from that year in Hawaii)… look at the marks on this Internet version and you can see this was the template for Obama’s BC handiwork. The handwriting is exactly the same between posted Internet image and Obama’s fake version — the placement of boxes and marks are in the exact same position, dates are where the modified clipping masks occur to adjust dates to fit for Obama, but the handwriting of dates match (except for the clipping mask changes). Even the Cert. number is only off by the last two digits (which…you guessed it… happens to be a clipping mask layer).”
This particular graphics expert and special effects supervisor/consultant writing this article concurs. As do thousands of others. In seeming solidarity with this writer/graphics professional, she says something in The Globe about the forgery that I have said from the outset on this site, others have also, and still believe: “There is an element of amateurishness about it”. Indeed.
If you want to get some small sense of Zebeth’s degree of technical complexity, while the following is not earth-shattering as an example, and is designed for the beginner/moderate user, it certainly tops out at many. many times above what would be required to make the obvious fake put out by the White House, which she, me and so many others document categorically in our professional opinions as an unquestionable forgery....
