Perhaps no information was removed, added or altered, but this document was definitely created and is not a direct scan to PDF.
The President's own Counsel, Bob Bauer said “We were advised that the long-form birth certificate could be copied and made available to us as early as Monday, April 25th — the day before yesterday.

Sounds like we had a little "transparent" redacting going on here.
Indeed.
