How to change pdf metadata - creation date

I have a number of old documents that have been scanned and converted to pdf's. I would like to change the metadata in each of these to reflect the documents ORIGINAL creation date on paper (not the scan date). Is there any simple tool to do this? (Each document's date is different so I will have to manually change it.)
I can not find a way to do this in OS X, and the tools that I have found like A Better Finder change the creation date in the File Info panel, but if I open it in Adobe Acrobat 8 the metadata remains unchanged.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you. I did find this also on Adobe's website. It is an option, but since I an archiving a number of documents over a 30 year creation period, each of which has a different creation date it seems cumbersome as I would have to create and save a different XML file for each pdf I wanted to update. I was hoping for a more efficient tool that accomplish the task.

How do change hard drive creation date on OS 10.3.9 hard drive

Nuts, I installed my OS and configured everything without releasing that because the battery was dean the date had reverted back to 1976. Any way to change the hard drive creation date that shows up in GetInfo on my hard drive. Thanks

Hi, Brett -
That is often an effective solution, when OS 9 is available on another drive or machine, and all that is needed is the availability of Classic.
Unlike OSX, an OS 9 System Folder can be copied via a Finder copy process (drag and drop) and still retain full functionality.
However... if the receiving machine is OS 9 bootable, and the need is not only for Classic but also for a bootable OS 9 System Folder, copying such a folder from a different model Mac will rarely work. Unless specific steps are taken to perform a universal install of OS 9, an OS 9 install will be tailored to the machine it is installed upon - it will be model-specific to that machine.

IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
but only on these Palm files.

How i change pdf file to excel format

how i chang pdf to excell

The forum you've posted to is for questions about the Formscentral product. Conversion of PDF to Excel is not a feature of this product. Adobe does offer products that convert file format types so I would suggest you investigate our other Acrobat.com offerings or a desktop version of Acrobat itself.

How to change pdf tp jpg to email?

how to change pdf file created in pages to a jpg file

Is it more than one page? If not, open it in Preview and Save As a jpg file. It can only do one page at a time (the current page showing in Preview) so you would have to do one page at a time doing Save As to multiple jpg's.
At the more powerful end of the spectrum of possible tools there's ImageMagic.

How can I change the file creation date?

I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that.

Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Correct. Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11143/a-better-finder-attributes
for instance. But there are otheers, search on MacUpdate

How to export PDF metadata

Hi,
Is there a simple way to extract the PDF metadata ("Title", "Subject", "Author", "Keywords", etc.) from several PDF (no more than 3000 in my case) into a file that could be opened in Excel or Calc ?
I'm using Acrobat XI Pro but I can also use another 3rd party program provided it is free ;-).
My goal is to check the homogeneity of the metadata of a collection of electronic thesis.
Next step could involve batch correction of metadata. I'd be interested to know if Acrobat Pro can handle that too.
Thank you for your help !

Accessing the doc.info object is simple enough in a batch script (an Action in Acrobat X and later). The tricky part is in storing the results, as Acrobat doesn't like you writing to generic files on disc.
I've attached a JS file that you run inside an Action. It creates a new blank document, which has an attachment containing the data as a tab-delimited list. Note that if you run the Action repeatedly without closing the blank document, it'll keep adding to the list.
To use it, create a new Action, set the source files to "Ask when Action is Started" and "Don't Save Changes", add a JavaScript step from the More Tools panel, and paste in the contents of the JS file.
You don't say what version of Acrobat you're using, so I can't post a pre-made SEQU file.

How to change the "content created" date/time in FCPX?

Since I've had problems importing my whole iMovie event library into FCPX I decided to run some tests with importing individual files (part of iMovie events and originally imported from camera into iMovie). Some of them for some reason got the wrong "content created" date/time in them while in iMovie they have the right date/time set. Does anybody have an idea on how to change the "content created" timestamp?

I had a bunch of DV files that imported stamped with the file modification date and time. I did not find a way to change it in FCPX. With FCPX not running, I used A Better Finder Attributes to modify the creation and modification dates of the files in the event folder. FCPX reconnected to them but the event still showed the old range of dates so I created a new event and moved the clips to it. Maybe ther is a beter way but that is how I did it.

How to change PDF comments time in utc time zone*

Currently the eReview PDF time stamp uses the system time for its timestamp.
If there are two reviewers for a eReview packet, one in some X location and other in Phoenix and the reviewer in "X" reviews the packet first on a particular day evening and reviewer in Phoenix reviews the packet in their same day morning then the timestamp shows that Review in Phoenix is done first and "X" is done later.
The same is the case for comments from authors and the reviewers if both are different location.
So I think this time stamp looks inconsistent and does not give the desired information.
so its taking system by default,how to change it from system time to UTC time zone
Thanks&Regards
Sam rome

you could use the elapsed time function and hook it up to a case structure so that every .1 seconds you write your data to a file.
hope this helps:

How to change PDF document dimensions - Acrobat Pro 9

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to change the dimensions of my PDF in Acrobat Pro.
The original artwork was created in Illustrator and the final document is primarily for screen use (not print) so was created using pixels (600x665px to be precise). However when the artwork is created into a PDF, when viewed (and printed) in Acrobat, it is rather large and I want to make this smaller.
If anyone can advise on this it'd be much appreciated!
thanks
HS

You might play with the Touchup Object tool off the Advanced Editing toolbar.
Use the tool to select the image. Any of the four corners can be "grabbed" and a mouse drag will let you change the space occupied, on the PDF page, by the image. Not a "fine control" but, sometimes, all that's needed.
Or, in Preferences > Touchup category - the associated configuration pane permits selection of an installed image editor.
Now, using the Touchup Object tool's context menu, you can use the "Edit Image..." selection.
Edit the image and return it to the PDF.
Be well...

How to change the schedule line date in SO with reference to value contract

Hi SD Guru's,
I need to change the schedule line date in the sales order with reference to the value contract by using some algorithm that i will write. The problem that i can't find the suitable place to add the algorithm. I can't add it to the Copy control because there is no schedule lines in value contract and copy control for schedule lines does no exist.
I can not add to user exit MV45AFZZ , because order that was created with reference to the value contract, does not go through this user exit.
Do you have some ideas where i can add it?
Thanks and Regards
Viky
Edited by: Viky Sloutsky on Oct 20, 2010 12:43 PM

Hello Viky
How about using program MV45AFZB- USEREXIT_CHECK_VBEP or USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEPKOM
or program FV45EFZ1- USEREXIT_CHANGE_SALES_ORDER
Does the program go through these exits when an order is created with ref to a value contract??
Also I am wondering why you need to change a Schedule line determined by Availability check and/or delivery scheduling?
