Detailed Description

This class is a date datatype as specified in the PDF reference. You can easily convert from Unix time_t to the PDF time representation and back. Dates like these are used for example in the PDF info dictionary for the creation time and date of the PDF file.

PdfDate objects are immutable.

From the PDF reference:

PDF defines a standard date format, which closely follows that of the international standard ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One), defined in ISO/IEC 8824 (see the Bibliography). A date is a string of the form (D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm')
