Hello:

I am just trying to create a date stamp on an Exact Forms Plus document.  Simply the date that document was created.
Trying to determine the right format.  I know there is the [EF PDF Date] field, but that is created as the document is generated and does not appear/post on the new Exact Forms PDF.

I've tried ~Now ()~, but that is incorrect.

What am I doing wrong?

Dirk

Hi Dirk,
  Now() doesn't work as you can see.

There are a few options:
  1. You can use this format in the template to  display the current date:  ~d#today#MM/dd/yyyy~ 
  2. You can also use MS Word itself to display the current date.
    So in the template itself
    • Put your cursor in the word document where you want the date to appear (see attached)
    • From the word menu items click Insert and then the click Date & Time
    • In the popup that appears select the format you want to use and click the update automatically checkbox
