function DecodeDate(const Value: string; out DateTime: TDateTime; out DateTimeOffset: Integer): Boolean;
| Value | string. PDF date string in the PDF date format: D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm' (e.g. "D:20240515120000+08'00'"). |
| DateTime | TDateTime. Output parameter that receives the decoded date and time value. |
| DateTimeOffset | Integer. Output parameter that receives the UTC offset in minutes. Positive values indicate east of UTC; negative values indicate west. |
True, jos Value jäsennettiin onnistuneesti kelvolliseksi PDF-päivämäärämerkkijonoksi. Palauttaa False, jos merkkijono on tyhjä, virheellinen tai ei vastaa PDF-päivämäärämuotoaDecodeDate is a unit-level global function in the PDFium unit. It parses a PDF date string and converts it to a Delphi TDateTime value together with the UTC timezone offset in minutes.
PDF documents store dates in the format D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm', where O is the relationship to UTC (+, -, or Z). Use this function to decode the raw strings returned by properties such as CreationDate and ModifiedDate.
The DateTimeOffset out parameter contains the signed UTC offset in minutes (for example, UTC+8 gives 480, UTC-5 gives -300). The DateTime out parameter is set to the local time as encoded in the PDF string, not adjusted to UTC.
