I'm a new Flare user, and I was wondering if there was a way to configure targets to include some variable text (in particular, the date that the output was built) to the filename?
I would like it if you could set the target so that the output file would be something like 'filename_20130211.pdf" - or whatever the date happened to be when the output is built. Is there a way to do that?
Variables / Dates in output filenames?

I'd be very interested in this as well.

Re: Variables / Dates in output filenames?
As far as I know this is not possible and I am working with Flare since the beginning.
I have tried also something with variables, but maybe someone has a great idea.
For your information: with the TOC you can use variables; i.e. if you have a Heading with a variable in it and then drag it to your TOC.

I'd also be interested in this. In particular to add the document version information
