The difference is because we change our clocks an hour in the summertime (aka Daylight Savings Time) because of this the time zone needs to change.
During PST you minus -8 from UTC. During Daylight Savings or PDT you minus -7 hours from UTC. In the US most states observe Daylight savings so you still +/- the same amount of hours you normally would to get the time in different time zones but if your in a place that does not observe dayight savings then the difference between PST and PDT means the difference of one hour.
For us in the US PST and PDT makes no difference. This is actually the first time I have really seen PDT used and had to actually look it up
