The system log? That could work, but I'd imagine the metadata would be more reliable for this task.

But what about Internet activity data? Couldn't that also provide clues about when the document was created?

Hmm, I'm not sure internet activity data would help with determining the creation date of a specific document file. That seems like a stretch.

The document's metadata seems like the most obvious choice here. That's where you'll find the creation date, right?

I agree with Fidelia, metadata contains information about the document's creation date.
