Example:

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a simple Date field into the document.
// When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
// special Field object which contains information about the field.
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

// Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult.
dateField.update();

// Display some information from this field.
// The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
// When field codes are not showing.
