             Summary: XMPSchemaBasic setCreateDate and setModifyDate don't work in some cases
                 Key: PDFBOX-3257
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3257
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JempBox
    Affects Versions: 1.8.11, 1.8.8
         Environment: Suing pdfbox from maven
            Reporter: Svetlozar Argirov
            Priority: Minor


When setting XMPSchemaBasic with in certain PDFs , setCreateDate and setModifyDate do not work if the dates are already set in the pdf.

So this will not work as expected:
{code:Java}
XMPSchemaBasic bi = xmp.getBasicSchema();
bi.setCreateDate(someDate);
bi.setModifyDate(anotherDate);
{code}

Setting other metadata fields works as expected, except for these two.

I found a workaround . If I set the fields to null, before setting them to a new value everything works as expected:

{code:Java}
XMPSchemaBasic bi = xmp.getBasicSchema();
bi.setCreateDate(null);
bi.setCreateDate(someDate);
bi.setModifyDate(null);
bi.setModifyDate(anotherDate);
{code}

But still it feels like there is something wrong with the way setting these two dates work.
