How is it that the White House would have allowed that PDF file go public with it being so obvious that it's a fake?

The public would have accepted even a worse document. It's not obvious that the document is a fake. The forgers were not professionals, and they couldn't think that someone else would be smarter than them.

Are they not technologically savvy enough to know whether all tracks have been covered before posting that?

It's not just a matter of technology, it's (now) a matter of history and of social interactions. If some JBTs show up at a house of a 90 year old retiree what can they ask? "Does this BC looks like a fraud to you?" They don't even have the right question to ask. The same applies to layers. They could walk into a printer shop, but they didn't know what to ask other than "do you see anything suspicious in this here true copy of a HI BC?" That would have required a messy cleanup after the question is asked.

And the person who created it. Was this his way of doing the job he was getting paid for but figured if he kept it in layers and did not put it together in a jpg he was covered and it would not be considered "forgery" since the layers are separate?

It was a sloppy job all around, done by a Photoshop user who had only a general idea of what he is doing. The little details of inner workings of the software were all mystery to the forger. The administration is full of 3rd rate people. The admission criteria are not what you think they should be. Besides, on what level of confidence, how close to The Body this person has to be to be trusted with such a job? If I were in Obama's shoes I would have only two candidates who I could trust without reservation, and that would be myself or my wife. Nobody else. Nobody else with half a brain would even sign up to do this job, lest they want to end up suddenly dead from natural causes.

The most important reason, though, why they didn't try harder is because they didn't expect a popular revolt. Every person of importance in the party, and in the Congress, had to be either aware or blind. They didn't care much either, as long as they have a suitable sock puppet with the required albedo. In essence, The People were ignored - "those commoners and peasants don't matter." Judges repeatedly ruled that voters "have no standing" to challenge the rights of modern patricians.

Thanks for the reply! Great answers to my questions. I agree that it had to be somebody they could trust if they didn't try to do it themselves. Perhaps the admitted American terrorist friend of Obama had some sort of connection to this.

Also, I got another reply which also seems possible.

When I do graphic art design for someone, I send them everything in PDF form so any text, graphic or background color can be modified easily. My guess is that the “artist” sent the file to be approved and the receiving party, not knowing anything about layers, approved it and ran with it.
