See post 4.... Watch and learn....
I did view this video and this is exactly the SAME THING that happened when I scanned to PDF a print out of the birth certificate! I opened the PDF I CREATED and was able to move elements around just like the designer did in that video. Trust me, I was just as amazed playing around with the original BC PDF in Illustrator as the guy in the video, but I wanted to prove to myself that this wasn’t some sort of abberation of the scanning software. Using the scientific method, I was able to replicate the same results by creating my own PDF from a scan of the White House supplied birth certificate.
