Hi, I have users with their date of birth stored as meta data which I can show on a pdf via [e2pdf-user key="birth_date" meta="true"]. I'd like to be able to show a checked tick box if they are older than 65 years. Is there a way I can use [e2pdf-format-date format="Y/m/d" offset="-23742 days"]x[/e2pdf-format-date] and compare the output (23742 days before today) with meta key birth_date to see if birth_date is earlier? i.e. person older than 65 years (or 23742 days).

Many thanks

Hello,

If we understand correctly and you need just to tick a checkbox (not output the age), you must be able to use "Actions" and "Conditions", and compare:

[e2pdf-format-date format="Y/m/d" offset="+23742 days"][e2pdf-user key="birth_date" meta="true"][/e2pdf-format-date]

with

[e2pdf-format-date format="Y/m/d"]now[/e2pdf-format-date]

See please the screenshot with setup.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

You understood me correctly and your answer has helped greatly, thank you. I've now got the pdf showing as wanted.
