Post subject:  PDFDictionary - PdfDocumentInfo.CreationDate exception
I was requesting the creation date for the PDF via the document info and it threw an exception about casting from PdfStringObject to a PdfNameObject. I looked at the source code and was able to locate the problem.

PdfDictionary.cs - Line 677:
Code:
        string date;
        if (obj is PdfString)
          date = ((PdfString)obj).Value;
        else if (obj is PdfStringObject)
          date = ((PdfNameObject)obj).Value;
        else
          throw new InvalidCastException("GetName: Object is not a name.");


Notice in the else if you check for PdfStringObject then attempt to cast to PdfNameObject as opposed to PdfStringObject. It should really be:

Code:
        string date;
        if (obj is PdfString)
          date = ((PdfString)obj).Value;
        else if (obj is PdfStringObject)
          date = ((PdfStringObject)obj).Value;
        else
          throw new InvalidCastException("GetName: Object is not a name.");


Hope that helps!

Thank you for the feedback. It's fixed with current internal builds and future public builds.

Hi Thomas,

Any chance of making the "current internal build" available even if it's not official?
