PURPOSE: (click this to close)

to easily create a printable 28-page pdf for a year calendar, with custom images and custom events
This was made for Dierenvoedselbank Gent to use as a template and upload to flyer.be

USAGE:

  • change the desired year
  • be sure to double check the event list, because some change date each year (easter/...)
  • type a font installed on your pc, or choose from the list (default: Rounded-Elegance)
  • change the dates and/or names of the desired events (or disable them)
  • change the description title for each month
  • drag and drop images (from your pc) onto the desired spot
  • if needed, click 'toggle fit' on the picture to make it fit either of the boxes (page, cutline, or safetyline)
  • if needed, click 'toggle fill' on the picture to make it fill the current box
  • red lines are cutlines, green lines are safety lines for your content (they won't be printed)
  • change colors of the image backgrounds, or the month header background and text
  • print to pdf (yellowgreen blocks like this one, and helper elements/lines will not be printed)

REMARKS:

  • all changes are local only, nothing gets uploaded unless you press "save settings on server".
  • all changes to dates, colors, fit/fill, titles are saved to your local storage (so you can close the window and continue where you left off)
  • except for images: IMAGES DON'T GET SAVED BETWEEN SESSIONS
  • !!! be sure to convert the resulting pdf to CMYK, if you want to send this off to a printing press, as this only does RGB for now !!!
  • if you pick an image with transparency, the blue border will act weird,
    but this doesn't really matter since they don't get printed anyway

TODO:

  • upload to server to generate pdf
