Just how do you explain the FACT that the "Alvin P. Onaka, Ph.D" stamp at the bottom of the supposedly scanned page extracts as an image that had been separately scanned, reduced by 24%, and that had been rotated to a minus 90°??? This was according to the Meta Data that Adobe Illustrator extracted from the layer. . . THAT would not have been created by any attract of OCR or image optimization, I assure you!

Perhaps you can explain to me why a human being would work with a bunch of different elements that started out rotated 90 degrees to the left, and then import them into a program that way?

If it makes little sense for a program to structure things that way, it makes no sense at all for a human being.

In any event, it all fails what I mentioned earlier about the higher resolution document. No one has ever explained why on earth a human being would EVER exhibit the behavior described. See my earlier post for details.

That's easy... They started out with scanned documents in one orientation. It's easier to rotate than to rescan when using them if one needs them in landscape and you scanned them in portrait. There is NO reason for a program to separate out an element, rotate it, reduce it, and save that data in the Meta data, in a different orientation than the original document. None what-so-ever.
