Does anyone has experience using this script? I can't seem to get it work for me. 


I'm working on our University's annual calendar and I'm trying to streamline how the calendar gets generated each year while keeping the same essential look. 


If anyone has a good solution then I would be open to it. 


Thanks in advance for the help.

I love it and it works great for me. Can you explain better what's not working for you?

When I try to do August 2011 to December 2012 I get an error message. 


This script seems like it could be useful but maybe I'm not thinking it through. 

Here are the main settings that I've tried to use:


Once I can get it working then I can style it to look something like this:

You're using a newer version than me, I think. I better get an update and see whassup with some of those cool new features! :)

I did a video on how to use it here:

I would suggest trying to turn off a lot of the various options (checkmarks) and keep running it. Try it on a single month. Does that work? Try running it with no documents open.

I unchecked a lot of the boxes and I seem to have a workable file. Now it may just be a matter of restyling everything to fit the look. 


There's somewhat of a learning curve to this script. But it is useful. 


Let me know what you think of the new version. Obviously, this is my first time using this script.

I get an error with the fitcalendartoframe. js. 



I've got the calendar working for the most part now. It has saved me a great deal of time reworking the University's calendar. I hope I can get better and more efficient at using this script. 


Thanks for your help.
