PDF creation date

Hi,

I am running in an issue with the PDF Creation Date. I am not sure, but it
looks that the date should be in UTC time and not just "now"? Currently the
date differs between file creation time and PDF-Creation time with exactly 2
hours (Germany is UTC + 1 (plus currently 1 hour Daylight Saving Time).

Further more. I can set all information in the PDF Settings but not the
Creation Date. Is there a way to do this (without hacking ppPDFSettings and
ppPDFInfo.pas)?

Greetings from Germany

    Hi Sven,

    If you look at the CreationDate routine inside the ppPDFInfo.pas file, you
    will see that it simply makes a call to the Delphi Now() routine (which in
    turn calls the Windows API function GetLocalTime). Are you perhaps running
    on a server that is in a different location or incorrect time? I'm not sure
    how else this could be coded to work :).

    Unfortunately it is not currently possible to manually edit the CreationDate
    value in the PDF device without altering the ppPDFInfo.pas code.
