Hello everone,

Is it possible to extract the Modified date that you can see in Acrobat 8 Professional under tthe File->Properties->Description tab?

I have a folder that contains many PDF forms and hoping to have a .js file or .vbs file that can open each form and echo or mesgbox the modified date.

I was able to do this and read the Modified Date on the system file properties (right click on the pdf->Properties) but this date is not accurate.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

this.info.ModDate
will retrieve the modifiction date (as it is saved in the Properties of the PDF), and
this.info.CreationDate
will retrieve the creation date.
