I am not a topic owner, so i cannot download your zip file.
My document is a DATE field.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "DatumKBBB.doc");
FieldsHelper.convertFieldsToStaticText(doc, FieldType.FIELD_DATE);
doc.save(MyDir + "FieldsHelper out.docx");

@benzoid,

Thanks for your inquiry. Your document contains the legacy form control (Text Form Field). It is imported as FormField into Aspose.Words’ DOM. Its field type is FIELD_FORM_TEXT_INPUT. Please check the attached image. FormField.png (30.9 KB)

If you want to check type of text form field, please use FormField.TextInputType. The Field class represents a Microsoft Word document field e.g. date, page etc.

Moreover, the date field has following field code. Please insert date field into document using MS Word to check its field code.

{ DATE @ “dddd d MMMM yyyy” * MERGEFORMAT }

Please check the code and document in my previous post to get the desired output.
