Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Field sample - PRINTDATE.docx");

// When a document is printed by a printer or printed as a PDF (but not exported to PDF),
// PRINTDATE fields will display the print operation's date/time.
// If no printing has taken place, these fields will display "0/0/0000".
FieldPrintDate field = (FieldPrintDate)doc.Range.Fields[0];

Assert.That(field.Result, Is.EqualTo("3/25/2020 12:00:00 AM"));
Assert.That(field.GetFieldCode(), Is.EqualTo(" PRINTDATE "));

// Below are three different calendar types according to which the PRINTDATE field
// can display the date and time of the last printing operation.
