  •  File Create and Modify Dates=4/29/2008 9:17:20 PM (10+ / 0-)

    per internal Adobe document properties.

    If you want to compare file timestampes on that PDF versus other versions floating about, this might be useful.

    •  wow, thanks! (8+ / 0-)

      I KNEW the press release was created on Tuesday - I just knew it, but I didn't have any proof.

      Thanks, antirove!!

      •  I was puzzled the Modify=Create time (1+ / 0-)

        I am puzzled why it was created and altered all inside the very same second.  That's actually not easy to carry off--it's possible but not so likely.

        Perhaps if the PDF file content was actually 'imported' from an older file into a fresh 'new' document (the new one having the exact file stamp we noted above), and saved that same second, it could have had the very same Create and Modify time.  

        Or it might have been created by a conversion program that takes another kind of file and outputs the PDF file.  

        Either way, there may be some forensic fun to track down 'prior versions'.

        •  nothing nefarious about the same times (2+ / 0-)

          you were probably correct with your last guess:

          it might have been created by a conversion program that takes another kind of file and outputs the PDF file.  

          (because this is what happens to me, when i make PDFs, and a lot of PDFs that I download have the same feature)
