RE: Open and edit? - 1/17/2014 6:36:24 AM    DEJenc3 Posts: 533 Joined: 6/22/2005 Status: offline You should be able to open most older Calendar Creator calendars in the latest version of CC. See this help file for version file types: http://support.encore.com/technicalsupport/kb.aspx?kb_id=1098&product_id=2685 The software version you use may be important if you want to edit and save the calendar to return to the person who sent it in the first place, but less so if you simply want to view and print it. _____________________________ David (in reply to 1222carol) Post #: 4

RE: Open and edit? - 1/17/2014 8:12:56 AM    DEJenc3 Posts: 533 Joined: 6/22/2005 Status: offline Just save the PDF file to your hard drive and located in double-click to open with Adobe Reader. That would have been the way I would originally have recommended somebody to share a calendar with you as long as you don't have to edit it. If you have to edit it, you won't have any success, even with the full Adobe product. _____________________________ David (in reply to 1222carol) Post #: 6

RE: Open and edit? - 1/17/2014 8:46:19 AM    DEJenc3 Posts: 533 Joined: 6/22/2005 Status: offline My point was meant to be that it would hardly be worth the effort, since you couldn't really edit the contents of the calendar. You might as well start with a free calendar program like Google or Yahoo and make changes that you could save and print. _____________________________ David (in reply to JasonC) Post #: 8

RE: Open and edit? - 1/17/2014 2:46:34 PM    DEJenc3 Posts: 533 Joined: 6/22/2005 Status: offline Thanks, Jason. Perhaps 1222carol can try one of those programs, and report back if it works or doesn't. I'm one who will use an OCR option at every opportunity, but I assumed that one of these calendars in a PDF file would present too many problems, and require too much editing to be worth the time. I don't know if the OCR program would see the calendar cells as columns, or lump all text together, since I've had mixed results with complex documents being read by OCR programs that I've had, most often OmniPage. If it's the text from the calendar that the OP wants, it might be requested from the sender of the original Calendar Creator file, to be sent as an exported CSV file. _____________________________ David (in reply to JasonC) Post #: 10
