Anyone got a good easy, FREE, calendar creator that they'd recommend?

What's wrong with iCalendar on the Mac?
Works great.   :)

For a clients personal calendar to be printed? I thought that was just for organization on the mac.
I found a plugin at Adobe, checking it out now

I know you probably don't want to hear it but MS Publisher does a pretty decent calendar. If you can get it to output you are home free. And the whole PC thing sucks too.

And here is a script for InDesign. Have never tried it though.

We use it for creating customer calendars.  It's very easy.  You can drag and drop photo etc.  Pick which holidays you want, add birthdays, change fonts.  Little restricted on the design, but it's real easy and looks great.

I've been trying to get this PDF to upload but screw it :o, I'll just copy paste the article to a bunch of replies. ::)

1 Download, install, and run
Calendar Wizard 0.9 is available on the Adobe
Exchange, but we've made it easy for you and
attached a special, newer version of the script to
this PDF—just click on Acrobat's paper clip icon to
download the Calendar Wizard 2.0 file. It's a tiny 13 KB
file and written in JavaScript, so it works on both Mac
OS and Windows. After you download and unzip it,
install it by putting it inside the InDesign > Presets >
Scripts folder (in CS2) or inside the InDesign > Scripts
> Scripts Panel folder (in CS3).
Note that this gives you four files: the script to
make the calendar, a script to realign the calendars,
a script to fit a calendar to a frame, and a ReadMe file
with lots of good information on how the script works
and how to use it.

In other words if you have an Adobe Exchange user name and account you can follow my pasted article and get the script there. I couldn't (for reasons my wine glass will try to explain to you  ::) )

that script works very nice.. thanks!

been using XLcalendar, (which is similar, but outputs in excel, convert to pdf, captured vector in illy), also could go to timeanddate.com - (create your calendar, plug in the holidays, print to pdf, capture in illy) ive been using both of these for quick 1 sheet setups, although it sounds corny they come out pretty good.

FWIW,
I made a calendar in MS Word last week, pretty plain, but a quick and painless solution for what I needed.
