Answer
The Date / Time in the Form itself is based on the local timezone on your device.
The Date / Time in the Form Export (PDF) is based on the 'Timezone' selected in the 'Settings' tab of each Fieldwire Project.
In both examples above, the 'Timezone' in the 'Settings' tab of the project is GMT+8, whereas the local timezone is PDT. This explains the 15-hour discrepancy between the Form interface and exported PDF.
How to Fix
1. Navigate to the 'Settings' tab.
Note: Only Project Admins have access to the settings tab, so ask an Admin to do this if you do not see the Settings tab when you open the Project.
2. Adjust the 'Timezone' field to match your local timezone:
