From Chapter 1 of A Question of Eligibility: A Law Enforcement Investigation into Barack Obamas Birth Certificate, March 2012 A close

examination of the state registrars stamp on the Obama birth certificate provides obvious proof the document is forged, according to the preponderance of Adobe experts consulting with WND. There are two different registrar stamps evident on the Obama birth certificate: (1) the date stamp, indicating April 25, 2011, and (2) the text and signature stamp containing registrar Dr. Alvin Onakas signature.
Both registrar stamps appear to have been applied by a rubber stamp inked from a blotter.

Jerome Corsi, July 21, 2011 WND article http://www.wnd.com/2011/07/324153/ A close examination of the state registrars stamp on the Obama birth certificate released by the White House indicates the document is forged, according to the preponderance of Adobe experts consulting with WND. There are two different registrar stamps evident on the Obama birth certificate: The date stamp, indicating April 25, 2011, and the text and signature stamp containing registrar Dr. Alvin Onakas signature.

Arpaios investigators determined the registrar stamps are external objects that were imported into the document.

The registrar stamps appear to be external objects that were imported into the document. The stamps were not impressions copied whole, the experts believe, but were created uniquely for the Obama document by a cutand-paste process. Moreover, the area around the date stamp indicates the image is not a scan of a paper document but a PDF file created electronically.

The inescapable conclusion from this analysis, the experts contend, is that the Obama birth certificate as presented by the White House on April 27 is not an authentic copy of an original 1961 document held in the file of the Hawaii Department of Health. Instead, they say, its an electronic, manipulated document created most likely from pieces of authentic records in other words, a forgery.

Instead, they say, its an electronic, manipulated document created most likely from pieces of authentic records in other words, a forgery. The experts include Mara Zebest, a nationally recognized computer expert who has served as contributing author and technical editor for many books on Adobe software, and Doug Vogt, who has filed a criminal complaint that charges Obamas birth record is forged.

1.Registrar Date Stamp and Text/Signature Are Imported Links Viewed in Adobe Illustrator, the date stamp and the registrar text, along with the signature of Dr. Alvin Onaka, constitute two separate layers, indicating the date stamp was electronically placed on the electronic birth certificate, as seen in Exhibit 1, separately from the state registrar text and signature, as seen in Exhibit 2.

That the registrar date stamp and the registrar text/signature stamps were both created by links to external objects imported into the Obama birth certificate is also confirmed by turning on Links in the Window menu in Adobe Illustrator. As seen in Exhibit 3, further evidence that the two registrar stamps are external objects imported into the Obama birth document can be seen in that the date stamp and the registrar text/signature can easily be moved and repositioned anywhere on the document. Moreover, as seen in Exhibit 3, moving the two registrar stamps leaves behind a white halo residue that indicates where the two external links had initially been pasted into the document.

Jerome Corsi, August 2, 2011 WND Article http://www.wnd.com/2011/08/329221/ Typically, Obama supporters have observed that effects such as the multiple layers easily seen in the Obama PDF file through Adobe Illustrator were caused by optimizing the file with Optical Character Recognition software. Arpaios investigators demonstrated OCR software was not run on the White Housereleased PDF, because the file has no information in the Fonts field of the Properties tab when it is examined in Adobe Acrobat, as seen in Exhibit 6.

Typically, Obama supporters have observed that effects such as the multiple layers easily seen in the Obama PDF file through Adobe Illustrator were caused by optimizing the file with Optical Character Recognition software. This second technical report concludes OCR software was not run on the White Housereleased PDF, because the file has no information in the Fonts field of the Properties tab when it is examined in Adobe Acrobat, as seen in Exhibit 4.

The point is that OCR software is designed to read words in an electronic file into a table so that the words can be manipulated by wordprocessing software. Failure to generate fonts in the White House-released PDF is evidence OCR software was not run on the file.
