Yes, but why would one consistent number have the last number show as completely different? Wouldn’t it see every number in that sequence as the same?

I’m not an expert in programs, but I do know how to use them. I found it very strange to see the different pix-elation in that number 1 at the end.

I wonder how the Donald is coming along with analyzing this document?

Because it might have been lighter than the others and wasn't picked up as text on the scanner.

Picture an original document where that last character is more fuzzy and gray than the others. Depending on the palette used, the sharper characters could appear aliased because of the cutoff levels, while the gray one will be aliased.

As for pixel size, I just scanned a few sheets on an office device made by Ricoh and I got variable pixel sizes—where the colors were more consistent, it had larger blocks. In photos with a large gradient, the individual pixels in the PDF (the device creates the PDFs) were smaller.

I don’t have time to go look at details of the algorithms used, etc., but some of them do use variable pixel sizes and palettes, it seems.
