Additional Information

This is a known issue. The reason users see those random number is that the data time is converted to UNIX time. The reason is that the field is of type date. This conversion is done by browser, where users have no control over it. Once users convert it to string, the conversion works as the browser treats that as regular strings and not date.

Workaround

1. Create a new field with a data type of Text or String.2. Calculate the new field to equal to the previous date field.3. Edit the HTML to link to the new field.4) The dates appear in PDF as expected.
