Extraneous characters added to AppBuildDate.ShortTime

[Ian_Kennedy]

It could be a non-breaking space. It would need to be set to UTF-8 to show correctly. I think it is a Sonoma change:

Odd character output from DateTime.ToString on macOS Sonoma

The space between the time and “pm” is a Unicode Non-Breaking Space. This is a feature of typesetting that tells the rendering system “don’t break up these two pieces of text even though they have a space in between them”. So you’ll always see: 1:09 pm and never 1:09 pm You can safely replace it with a single space for use in your PDF: pdfText = ReplaceAll(timeText, Chr(&hE280AF), " ")

If you are fixed on using ISO-8859-1 in your output you should convert the encoding to that before adding the string to your output.
