I'm using Lucene with PDFBox but It seems there is an
error in converting date when the CreationDate field
is a set as text field in Document properties:

(xmp file)
<rdf:Description rdf:about=''
xmlns:pdf='http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/1.3/'>
<pdf:CreationDate--Text>27/10/2005
14:59:39</pdf:CreationDate--Text>
<pdf:Producer>Amyuni PDF Converter</pdf:Producer>
</rdf:Description>

instead if the field is formatted like this:

(xmp file)
<rdf:Description rdf:about=''
xmlns:xap='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/'>
<xap:CreatorTool>PScript5.dll Version
5.2.2</xap:CreatorTool>
<xap:ModifyDate>2005-09-
27T15:57:14+02:00</xap:ModifyDate>
<xap:CreateDate>2005-09-
27T15:57:14+02:00</xap:CreateDate>
</rdf:Description>

the library works without any exception.

The exception found is:

Error converting date:27/10/2005 14:59:39
