Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Create a PDF with defined date metadata:
convert rose: test.tif && tiff2pdf -o test.pdf -e 20181231120000 test.tif
pdfinfo then correctly reports the metadata:
$ pdfinfo test.pdf
Producer: libtiff / tiff2pdf - 20191103
CreationDate: Mon Dec 31 13:00:00 2018 CET
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
>From reprotest, however, the output is incorrect.
* What was the outcome of this action?
$ reprotest -c 'pdfinfo test.pdf' . "*.deb *.changes"
WARNING:reprotest:The control build runs on 1 CPU by default, give --min-cpus
to increase this.
Producer: libtiff / tiff2pdf - 20191103
CreationDate: Mon Dec 31 00:00:00 2018 GMT
* What outcome did you expect instead?
For GMT, I would have expected:
CreationDate: Mon Dec 31 12:00:00 2018 GMT
Both the isodates and rawdates option work fine:
$ reprotest -c 'pdfinfo -isodates test.pdf' . "*.deb *.changes"
WARNING:reprotest:The control build runs on 1 CPU by default, give --min-cpus
to increase this.

$ reprotest -c 'pdfinfo -rawdates test.pdf' . "*.deb *.changes"
WARNING:reprotest:The control build runs on 1 CPU by default, give --min-cpus
to increase this.

This is a problem for programs that rely on pdfinfo to extract metadata from
PDF files, as they then fail reproducibility testing.
