installation changes pdf-filedate to 2000/01/01

Post by woolfrog »

Hi there,
I've got an enduring problem with my free version.
After making some annotations in any pdf-file like typewriter-texts or lines and saving this to its original location the file's date changes to 2000/01/01.
I already deinstalled XChange Editor, including registry cleaning and manual deleting of all Tracker Software directories esp. in user\..\AppData\Roaming but after restart and ReInstall of a fresh download I got the same problem.

Could anyone help me? Thanks...

I'm using
Win 10
PDF-XChange Editor 8.0.331.0 - german language

Hello woolfrog,

Might I ask where you are seeing this change of date? In all instances within windows file explorer and Properties, the file has the correct date, as well as in the Editor, its created an modified dates seem to be accurate:

Can I ask what the time information windows itself is giving you? regardless if what version of windows you are running, you should be able to see a calendar by clicking (or double clicking) on the time in the corner of the windows taskbar.

Hello,

computertime is set to automatic. It is the actual date and time like in the pdf-properties.

First my file properties with date 2000/01/01...

...and now the documents properties with the correct date 2019/05/18

It is just because of the problem, to sort edited documents by date. Recently scanned files get a correct date until I dare to make any annotation to it and save it thereafter.

Greetings

Hello woolfrog,

Thank you for clarifying that. In this case, where are you seeing the incorrect information, could you please provide screenshots to show the discrepancy?

Hello,
the topic is solved. The problem was... me. :roll:
My files are saved on a NAS-drive, and this has gone out of its timeserver. Simple but effective.
So this topic has nothing to do with wonderful tracker-software but with fools in front of the screen.
Thanks for everyone who have considered.

Greetings, woolfrog
