So, what you are saying is that your "nuance pdf converter" software and
supposedly wordpad (in your Windows XP ____ Edition with Service Pack _,
__-bit system - fill in the blanks, please) save with the incorrect date but
your "Microsoft Word ____" saves with the correct date on the same system?
Start button --> RUN --> type in:
winver
--> Click OK.
Top part (picture) gives you the full name/edition of the OS and the bottom
parts (starting with the word "Version") will give the rest of the story
other than whether or not it is a 32-bit or 64-bit OS. However - if you
*have* SP3 installed - you have a 32-bit version of Windows XP as there has
not been (probably will not be) a SP3 for 64-bit Windows XP Professional
Edition x64. If you do not have SP3 installed (for whatever reason; know
your support ended July 13, 2010 if you have 32-bit Windows XP without SP3)
but are unsure what architecture you have (32-bit or 64-bit) - you can
figure that out:

After that, perform the following test...
Start button --> RUN --> type in:
cmd /C date /T >> "%userprofile%\Desktop\CurrentDate.txt"
--> Click OK.
Find the "CurrentDate.txt" text file on your desktop (you just created it)
and right-click on it and choose "Properties". What is the "Created",
"Modified" and "Accessed" dates listed for the text file "CurrentDate.txt"?
Now *open* the "CurrentDate.txt" text file - what is the date in the content
of the text file "CurrentDate.txt"?
