The document was scanned from a bound book of birth certificates, then printed on the security paper using a laser printer.
That makes sense....
I’m not a PDF expert but I don’t understand the white blocks around all of the typing. If you blow up the PDF, you can see that the typed material is not going directly on to security paper. The typed material is all isolated in white blocks, with a security paper background. It seems odd.

The local office in another state I visited when I was trying to get my COLB was using a dot matrix printer. If one or more of the pins on the print head were stuck, that might explain the “scoop” in one or more letters.
