Hi.
The date (from a Pagemaker 6.5 / Acrobat Distiller 3.01 PDF)
D:191000515121716
appears in a file I have. It appears to be entirely malformed
according to the spec, yet Acrobat reads it as:
15/05/2000 13:17:16
Preview fails reading it.
Is there some older date format, or something I'm missing?

1900 + 100 = 2000
Acrobat Distiller 3.01 was not designed for the use in year 2000 and later.

Ah-hah! Thanks. I suppose I can fix this in my code.
