Open a PDF as layers… Obama’s birth certificate

I was looking, with interest, at this old topic again

Found this interesting, about Opening Obama’s birth certificate in Adobe Illustrator.

He says…

So I downloaded Obama’s long form birth certificate here.

I tried to open it, in Linux, with Inkscape and Scribus but it just opened it as a flat document… no layers.

However, as you can see below I was able to open this…

with this online tool… which did open the PDF in layers.

And completely move the background, image to the right. There are at least 9 layers on the right.

Why would a birth certificate be in layers? To be edited? I can’t say, but it looks fishy.
