alt Hacker News> the employee might have found it easier to just flatten the pdf and apply a graphical filter to make the document appear like a scanned document
Is that remotely plausible? I can't imaging faking a scan being easier than just walking down the hall to the copier room.

The time advantage of faking a scan becomes better the more pages you have to scan.

It's thousands of pages, surely investing some time in a script is faster. They were in a rush as well.
If they were faking the documents rather than the delivery method they definitely could have invested some time in flawless looks.

Depending on their technical capability, yes.
I mean even in this thread you got what are essentially one-liners to do it.
Definitely less hassle then doing it irl

If it's already scanned, then you don't have to leave your desk.
