DateConverter badly handles date with minus sign in TimeZone
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-1035
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1035
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parsing
Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
Environment: Windows 7 and Fedora 14
Java 6
Reporter: Guillaume Bailleul
Priority: Minor
In a PDF where CreationDate is like "D:20110603085808-04'00'" (American West
Coast), the method PDDocumentInformation.getCreationDate does not return a
calendar with a correctly set timezone : offset remains 0.
There is no problem with "D:20110603085808+04'00'" where offset is correct.
The problem is in org.apache.pdfbox.util.DateConverter that does not handle '-'.
Obvisouly, same problem with getModificationDate
I made this patch to fix my problem :
--- DateConverter.java (revision 1133573)
+++ DateConverter.java (working copy)
@@ -251,6 +251,10 @@
//parseInt cannot handle the + sign
hours = Integer.parseInt( date.substring( 15,
17 ) );
}
+ else if (sign == '-')
+ {
+ hours =
-Integer.parseInt(date.substring(15,17));
+ }
else
{
hours = -Integer.parseInt( date.substring( 14,
16 ) );
It works, but I think there is much work to do on this method.
