Exported PDFs show US-format dates in the header

The metadata header on an exported PDF renders the date in US format — Date: 1/27/2025, 7:05:46 PM — while dates inside the item body are in the original UK long form, e.g. On Sun, 26 Jan 2025 at 18:13.

For a UK disclosure that's confusing at best and ambiguous at worst: 1/2/2025 reads as 2 January to the recipient and 1 February to us.

Likely cause

The header date is formatted at conversion time; a locale defaulting to en-US rather than en-GB would produce exactly this.
