Calrendar

Calrendar is an open source freeware program for rendering print quality calendars. It is currently in alpha stage, which means that it is sensitive and will most likely break at one point or another if you do not treat it exactly like it was supposed to. The output from the program is XSL-FO, which can be rendered to PDF using an XSL-FO engine. If XEP from RenderX is used PDF can be generated from the program directly. They have a free personal edition which can be downloaded from their homepage. Below are a couple of examples of what the program can do.

Images used in the example calendars are taken by Siv Samuelsson. The program itself is licensed by CC-GNU GPL, but the resulting calendars are license free. That means, if you can make a buck by using the program, so much the better for you. If you improve the program, you will either send me the improvements or release your own program under the same license.

The following countries calendars are currently supported: Sweden, Norway, and United States
