Field CREATEDATE doesn't work properly after saving document

Hi,

it seems that using of field CREATEDATE doesn’t work properly after saving document with Aspose.

Example:

  • Document (dot) contains field CREATEDATE
  • filedate of newly generated document is today, e.g. 05.07.2010
  • Java code
doc = new Document(TestAsposeCreateDate.LOAD_FILENAME);
builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
doc.save(TestAsposeCreateDate.SAVE_FILENAME);

Fieldresult
of CREATEDATE after saving document per Aspose:
e.g. 16.04.2003

I would have expected :
today, eg. 05.07.2010

Thanks
a lot.

Sincerely,
Matthias Schlosser

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. You should specify CreatedDate yourself. Please see the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.dot");
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setCreatedTime(new Date());
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi,

at the moment we are testing the new beta
release of Aspose
Words for Java 10.0

doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setCreatedTime

is not available anymore in Aspose 10.0.Therefore i am using

getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setCreatedTimePublic(new Date())

It seems that field CreateDate is not updated anymore.
{ CREATEDATE \@ "dd MMMM yyyy" }

Result after updating per Document#updateFields()
02 December 2003

I would have expected:
15 April 2011

(this is the result after manually update of document)

Thanks a lot.

Best
regards
Matthias

Hi
Thanks for your request. I managed to reproduce the problem on my side. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is resolved.
As a workaround, you can use {DOCPROPERTY CreateTime \@ "dd MMMM yyyy"} instead of CREATEDATE field.
Best regards,

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-4639) have been fixed in this .NET update and in this Java update.
