On some PDF files, when I use pdftk, the CreationDate and ModDate fields get corrupt. For instance, with the attached pdftk-test.pdf file: $ pdftk pdftk-test.pdf dump_data | \ pdftk pdftk-test.pdf update_info - output out.pdf $ pdfinfo pdftk-test.pdf Creator: TeX Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.3 CreationDate: Tue May 15 17:13:44 2007 ModDate: Tue May 15 17:13:44 2007 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) File size: 3179 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 $ pdfinfo out.pdf Creator: TeX Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.3 CreationDate: þÿ ModDate: þÿ Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4) File size: 3339 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pdftk depends on: ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.2-5 GCC support library ii libgcj7-0 4.1.1-20 Java runtime library for use with ii libstdc++6 4.1.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 pdftk recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
