Package: poppler-utils Version: 0.12.4-1.2 Severity: minor When outputting the CreationDate and ModDate fields, pdfinfo outputs the date and time in the timezone used by the PDF file, without saying what it is. This behavior is incorrect: when outputting date/time in a timezone different from the local one, the timezone must be shown.
For instance, on a PDF file having InfoKey: ModDate InfoValue: D:20110411145147+02'00' InfoKey: CreationDate InfoValue: D:20110411144129+02'00' (values taken from "pdftk file.pdf dump_data"), one gets: $ TZ=UTC pdfinfo file.pdf [...] CreationDate: Mon Apr 11 14:41:29 2011 ModDate: Mon Apr 11 14:51:47 2011 [...] This uses the timezone from the PDF file instead of the timezone local to the machine (to the process, actually). So, either output the timezone from the PDF file (e.g. +0200) or convert the date/time to the local timezone. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages poppler-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.6.0-2 GCC support library ii libpoppler5 0.12.4-1.2 PDF rendering library ii libstdc++6 4.6.0-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library Versions of packages poppler-utils recommends: ii ghostscript 9.02~dfsg-1 interpreter for the PostScript lan poppler-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
