Convert Aspose.Pdf.Info CreationDate to DateTime

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi Aspose!

At the moment Im writing a short program that makes MetaData on Sharepoint better. For this I use the BuiltInProperties from Files so you can see the real CreationDate and not the upload date. This works fine for .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx but with .pdf I have got a problem.

In Aspose.pdf there are no BuiltInPropertis. So I searched a bit and found pdf.Info.It contains everything I need at the moment, but the format of the CreationDate property is very strange and i cant convert it into DateTime. The format looks like this: D:20120411054453Z

So please could you give me a hint how to get a DateTime out of that?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Sorry forgot to say that im using C#.Net in Vs 2010

Hi Markus,

Thanks for using our products.

I have tested the scenario with below mentioned source code using Aspose.Pdf for .NET v6.9 and unable to notice any problem. The label text is displaying as "2/12/2007 9:04:48 PM". Kindly use the below code and check, if it fits your need.

[C#]

//open document<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Document pdfDocument = new Document(@"d:\pdffiles\adobe.pdf");

//get document information

DocumentInfo docInfo = pdfDocument.Info;

//show document information

DateTime dt = docInfo.CreationDate;

Label1.Text = dt.ToString();

If you still face any problem, please share some details regarding sample source code and template document you are using or create a sample application and post here to show the issue. This will help us to figure out the issue and reply back to you soon.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Thanks & Regard,

Hi rashid!

Thanks for the code it works fine. It didn´t work with my code, because i accessed th creation date with the following Code:

pdf.Info["CreationDate"]

This Code replies the String that I´ve posted above, but with your code it returns a perfect DateTime thank you very much for helping me.
