The whitehouse file orig I downloaded was def a layered PDF file. Regret I lost it when changing computers. It had 5 - 7 layers. Sloppy work by my standards. The previous version of PS would ‘automatically’ flatten a PDF save, but that new version defaulted to saving a layered file. I think that’s why it was accidentally saved as layers - OR someone wanted us to see it. I would have done it in photoshop - illustrator would have been more cumbersome? No question it was a construct….treason.
