Anytips on creating calendars in Illustrator.

No real shortcuts here. But I would suggest getting something from the
Exchange (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?t=35#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=Exchange%20Search&t=35)

If you have access to Microsoft Excel they have calendar templates you could output to PDF and open into Illustrator and take it from there.

Try here (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?t=35#loc=en_us&view=sn106&viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Details&authorid=2665129&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn106&itemnumber=0&extid=1048433&catid=0&t=35), I got it off the Adobe Exchange as suggested by kazbear it for a one calendar

There's a calendar template and script (AppleScript on the Mac--don't know about Windows) that comes with Illustrator:
Applications>Adobe Illustrator CS2>Scripting>Sample Scripts>AppleScript>Calendar
I haven't got it to input the correct dates on the right days for this year yet, but if you tinker around with the script, you can probably get it. I imagine you could make your own template as well.

Good one!

Yes, on Windows there is a script for this as well. It is located:
..Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Scripting\Sample Scripts\Visual Basic\CalendarSample.

There is an ai file there for the template that you can change. I just tried it and it gave me the correct calendar for this month...

Thanks!

How did you get it to work? I guess I am looking for steps. I have not ever used this before so I have not a clue.

Within Illistrator, pull down from File>Scripts>Other Scrips... Then navigate to: ..Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Scripting\Sample Scripts\Visual Basic\CalendarSample and open Calendar.vbs. You will get a message telling you its using a template, just click OK and let it go...

Thanks you very much!
