Exact Forms Plus

Question

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------------------------------Dirk Ruana------------------------------

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

There are a few options:

You can use this format in the template to display the current date: ~d#today#MM/dd/yyyy~
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
