Syntax

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public String CreatedOriginal { get; set; }

public String getCreatedOriginal(); 
public void setCreatedOriginal( 
   java.lang.String value 
);

public: 
property String^ CreatedOriginal { 
   String^ get(); 
   void set (String^ value); 
}

CreatedOriginal # get and set (PDFDocumentProperties)

Property Value

The value of the string stored in the original file containing date and time the PDF document was created. This value may contain time zone information. If the file does not contain this information, the default value is an empty String object.

Remarks

LEADTOOLS converts this value to UTC and stores it in the Created property.

The value of the CreatedOriginal property follows the PDF specification and should be in one of the two following forms:

D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm'
YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm'

Where:
   YYYY is the year
   MM is the month (01-12)
   DD is the day (01–31)
   HH is the hour (00–23)
   mm is the minute (00–59)
   SS is the second (00–59)
   O indicates the start of the time zone information and can be Z, + or -
   If O is + or -, the HH and mm values that follow it are the absolute values of the offset in hours (00-23) and minutes (00-59). The apostrophe character (') that follows these values is mandatory

The D: prefix is recommended, but not mandatory. Therefore, the 1st form is most common.

Everything after the year is optional. If day and month are missing, they are assumed to be 1. If hour, month and seconds are missing, they are assumed to be zero

The OHH'mm' section contains time zone information. If missing, the time zone information is unknown. In other words, missing time zone information is not equivalent to UTC.

If present, the time zone information should have these 3 forms:

Z (indicates UTC and there is no HH and mm after it)
+HH'mm' (indicates UTC + HH hours mm minutes)
-HH'mm' (indicates UTC - HH hours mm minutes)

The TimeZoneOffset helper method can be used to extract the time zone information from the value of this property.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Controls; 
using Leadtools.Pdf; 
using Leadtools.Svg; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
 
 
 
public void TestPDFTime() 
{ 
   string pdfFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"Leadtools.pdf"); 
   PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(pdfFileName); 
   pdfFile.Load(); 
 
   PDFDocumentProperties properties = pdfFile.DocumentProperties; 
   Console.WriteLine("Created = {0}", properties.Created.ToString()); 
   Console.WriteLine("Modified = {0}", properties.Modified.ToString()); 
   Console.WriteLine("CreatedOriginal = {0}", properties.CreatedOriginal); 
   Console.WriteLine("ModifiedOriginal = {0}", properties.ModifiedOriginal); 
   Console.WriteLine("CreatedTimeZoneOffset = {0}", PDFDocumentProperties.TimeZoneOffset(properties.CreatedOriginal)); 
   Console.WriteLine("ModifiedTimeZoneOffset = {0}", PDFDocumentProperties.TimeZoneOffset(properties.ModifiedOriginal)); 
} 
 
 
static class LEAD_VARS 
{ 
   public const string ImagesDir = @"C:\LEADTOOLS22\Resources\Images"; 
}
