Empty CreatorDate field in PDF files generated by Report 6i on Windows 7

user12116452Aug 12 2011 — edited Jan 16 2013

When generating a PDF file from Reports 6i on Windows 7, the CreatorDate in the PDF file header is empty.
Even worse: its opening parenthesis "(" is not closed. See example here below.

This generates several problems with Adobe Reader 10 like:
- text searching does not work although you can select text and do a copy paste,
- File/Properties does not work (nothing happens when selecting this menu item),
- File/Save As PDF generates the Adobe Reader error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)."

We do not have this issue with Windows XP.
Any idea?
