How to find out scanned templates were created in PDF or Word?

Please help! I have two identical scanned templates A & B. I need to know if they were created in PDF or Word. Some lines are longer where they typed text. The lines under typed text aren’t straight. The template A’s  input lines at the bottom of the page goes to the next page.

 

I think someone created them in PDF and someone typed text without using PDF software.

But I am not sure. How can I find someone to take a look at? Are there any specialists who can examine that?  Thank you!

@Genkidesu honestly, I would re-create the document. Save it as a PDF or Export as a PDF or Print as a PDF. And then, bring into a Acrobat and create form. Adjust the fonts to be consistent throughout the document. And save it

This way, each time someone needs a form, it will be nicely type in with the exact same font size throughout the document! Well, that's what I have done in the past!

This  was done in Word. I can recreate what they've done:

They used a combination of typing underscore characters up to and after the number, but then used the Underline Style under the numbers themselves. These do not line up vertically, plus, the end of the lines will vary depending on how many underscore characters they typed.

Thank you very much for your help! So the document was created and typed using Word. If the document was created in  PDF, but it was typed without using PDF editing software, what will happen? I really appriciated your time for the response.

@Genkidesu in the PDF, you can look at the 'Document Properties' — Command D (MAC) or Control D (PC)
