Hi @Tansu Akdeniz ,

Thank you for your responses

already I have seen above link it's not working for date

I'm horrified that this isn't included in the the standard cloud product, with a simple "/date" thing.   Why do we have to mess around creating macros etc...?   grrr.... 

right, must go and suggest this in the right place.

Please vote for this issue to be resolved. It's crazy that it's not already built in.

Hello @Vaibhav kamble 

Did you try the solution listed here

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Insert-Date-on-PDF-Export/qaq-p/672130

Could you please share in more detail as to what is not working and share the screenshot of your current implementation

Hi @Tarun Sapra 

I have attached pdf page screenshot

Hello @Vaibhav kamble 

Please go through this link

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-create-a-page-break-function-in-confluence-to-control-pagination-in-pdf-exports-735943076.html

Using above user macro you can set custom page break on pdf export and wherever you use this macro you can then also the use custom "current date" macro.

Hence by combination of the 2 macros you should be able to achieve current data and the page breaks.

Hi @Tarun Sapra ,

This is correct but I have created CSS 

1. @bottom-left  
2.     {  
3.          content: "Effective Date": ;   
4.           font-size: 5pt;  
5.      }  

also we tried access macro in to css like {current date } still its not working

[Tarun Sapra]

Hello @Vaibhav kamble 

Why are you trying to access the macro in css?

Both macros should be used only on the confluence page.

{current date}

{pagebreak}

like that

Hi @Tarun Sapra ,

I have exported a single pdf file so when we export single pdf we add header and footer for a single page export pdf.

In the footer section, I want the date the built-in header footer not working for single page pdf export that the reason I used pdf css.

Hello @Vaibhav kamble 

But now , is it working for multiple pdf pages with the css?

[Vaibhav kamble]

hi @Tarun Sapra 

This is not({current date}{pagebreak}) working into pdf export.

It's working into page edit
