public struct PdfDateTime : System.ValueType

Remarks

The PDF Specification does not define a special type for DateTime values, such values are stored as strings in a special format, similar to (D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm'), see the spec for details (PDF 1.7 chapter 3.8.3).

But there are many PDF documents in which DateTime strings are specified in some custom format, for example using a regional format. GcPdf uses this struct when processing such values. Where possible, the value is converted to System.DateTime, otherwise it preserves the original string value.
