Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1397:
----------------------------------
Some file formats store their times with timezone information. Some don't. Some
mix it. Tika includes the timezone where it can
As for the output side, that's probably best done in your own code. Fetch the
Date object from Tika from the Metadata, then explicitly set a timezone when
outputting if you want to use a different one.
> Can Tika make the metadata extraction of time stamps as timezone sensitive
