I’ll expound upon that while waiting for your reply. We were told that Obama’s lawyers went to HI and were given two hard copies of his BC. How did those hardcopies get onto the WH website without being either scanned or photocopied?
Big, industrial/enterprise document management systems - like the one I'm sure the state of HI uses - gives the users flexibility to print to pdf, or print to hard-copy, or both.
I haven't looked at the PDF closely, so I'm not sure if it's embossed with a seal of the state of HI. If it is, it's likely that the state printed out a hard copy, then physically embossed that copy with the state seal and signed it. Obama's representatives then returned to the states with that copy(ies), and then scanned to PDF to post it on the website. Again, that wouldn't be unusual because almost all business scanners natively posses the capability to scan to PDF.
Back to the state's system, some of those enterprise systems also have the ability to electronically "watermark" those PDFs, so that's also a possible way that they're embossed with the seal. You'd have to ask the state of HI how they specifically do it.
