Layers modified in Oct. 10??

Hi everyone. Don't have Illustrator and cannot inspect the .pdf, but can someone look into the individual layers and see if any of them were last modified in Oct 10? *IF* thats the case...

I have no idea what you are talking about, so here's a picture of a rabbit's birth certificate.

Here is a link to where I posted the image of each layer. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2711155/posts?page=997#997. What do you suspect was produced in October 2010? As far as I know, I don't think that individual layers are dated inside of a PDF file.

This whole argument about layers is nonsense anyway. If you open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat, you'll see that there is only one layer. If you use Illustrator to open it, Illustrator tries to let you edit every part of it, so it creates different layers. If you open a modern text PDF document with Illustrator, you'll see hundreds of layers, because Illustrator recognizes every line of text and opens it in a separate layer for editing. That doesn't mean the text document was created in separate layers, and the birth certificate wasn't either.

I am convinced that the original YouTube video about this was created by a leftie trying to trap people like us into a conspiracy theory. Comments were disabled on the video so people couldn't point out that his whole theory had a certain ripe odor about it. Here's some information about this, straight from the mouth of Adobe:

Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, and repeat yet once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Opening any arbitrary PDF file in Adobe Illustrator other than PDF files saved in that version of later of Adobe Illustrator with the editability option (which saves the Illustrator document editing data as private data within the PDF file) may result in content loss or corruption.

PDF layers are part of an overall feature known as optional content in PDF and are conceptually very different than Illustrator layers. Since PDF optional content features in general are very much a superset of Illustrator layers (PDFMaker for PowerPoint uses optional content to handle certain slide build features, for example), there would be no easy way for Illustrator to readily pick and choose what optional content features to support and translate. As such, don't expect this to be "rectified" in any way in future Illustrator releases.

(To make things even more interesting, both PDF and Illustrator layers are very different than Photoshop layers which allow for defined interactions between layers such as masking!)

This raises an interesting question.

Have the Adobe and other users groups looked at the Hex-dump code and at the PDF of the New and improved Obama COLB?

I would expect that there are code experts who could add a lot to the discussion on what seems right and wrong with the new improved COLB.

P.S. I believe that he was born in Hawaii, but also believe that something about his early records just doesn't seem quite right. Call me old fashioned, but why did he spend so much time hiding things and refusing to release information.

The wagons were circled to hold out on further disclosure until the Book coming out in mid-May was announced and Trump started to make his birth certificate an issue.
