PDF Creator for Evanced Calendar

Many libraries want to create quick lists of their upcoming programs to hand out to patrons, with the Evanced Calendar it can be difficult to create the exact print out you’re looking for. By default you can print in a calendar view, but that doesn’t provide details about the event, or you can view the events individually and print. What if you just want to know all the youth events that are going on this weekend, or just for today. Thats where this program comes in handy. It allows you to customize your request then create a pdf in a variety of layouts.
