Don't look at me. I was only 9 years old when he was born. Girls still had cooties back then. "rlol"

Keeping politics out of it and just looking at the PDF (from a graphical perspective) I see some unusual things when I open it with Adobe Acrobat Professional. All of the type (letters, words, etc, which this document is supposedly a scan of an original, right?) appear as white/reverse when the document is first opened and also when I resize it (zoom in, zoom out, etc.). This leads me to believe that this was created on a computer and tweaked, in other words, I doubt the authenticity. I say this from my experience in the publishing field and dealing with PDFs for ads. It could very *easily* be faked. :tiphat:
I opened the PDF in Illustrator CS5, and here are some screen snapshots of what I found:

1. Screen snapshot, showing all the layers turned on:

2. Screen snapshot, showing the background layer turned off:

3. Screen snapshot, showing the background turned back on, but the text objects turned off (oddly, some of the text stuff appears to be part of the background):

4. Screen snapshot, showing all the layers turned off:

In any case, this is definitely a layered file....but that doesn't answer how it was scanned.
