Thanks for the info.
On my windows 11 pro (japanese), I found a difference.
the pdfinfo.exe comes with Calibre returns "CreationDate" and "ModDate" with some location info and time zone info written in Japanese characters. While xpdfreader version of pdfinfo.exe doesn't include location and time zone info.
The pdfinfo.exe comes with Calibre has a commandline option "-isodates" which prevents japanese character. So I added this option to get_page_count function in pdf.py
>raw = subprocess.check_output([pdfinfo, '-enc', 'UTF-8', pdf_name, '-isodates'])
This worked for me. But I'm not sure if this modification will cause problem on other platforms.
