Okay since so many of you refuse to gain some knowledge:
Open ANY scanned image with text on a colored background in Adobe Acrobat Pro; e.g., via “File,” “Create PDF,” “From File.”
Then click “Document,” “Optimize Scanned PDF” under default settings.
You will have produced a layered PDF document, the layers of which you can separate with “TouchUp Object Tool” under “Tools,” “Advanced Editing.”
Acrobat is not the only software that processes images in this way. Many document management systems default or are configured to execute comparable and additional optimizations for human legibility and OCR parsing.
Even without Acrobat software or technical expertise, anyone can examine the PDF posted by the White House and perceive artifacts of PDF “optimization” that would not be present in a plain image “copy.”
The area around nearly every letter of text clearly reveals a systematic outlined white erasure of the green background, not by accident but by design, to enhance contrast and, thus, legibility for the black text.
To pretend these artifacts are evidence of forgery is simply ignorant or, worse, deliberately deceptive.

OCR would not create the types of artifacts created.
Nice try.
It certainly wouldn't create a "stamp" layer on its own.

I implore everyone to keep a CLOSE eye on non mainstream news over the next few days....the MSM will be eating this up for sometime, that means there is other, real news that is going to be coming out and I bet it's about the economy. But nobody will know because nobody will be paying attention!
