More PDF hints

You're welcome.

If you like colour coding, you can change the colour of a whole PDF using the Adobe Reader settings. So it makes all the text a colour other than black.

The info is here http://diyplanner.com/node/5987

Do you know if it could work with construction paper?

Or do you know of any brand of card stock with bright dark colors?

How could I miss that fabulous D.I.Y?

I am all about dividers with labels to organize notepad pages into something else.
Day Calendar, Notes on the go, to do, projects outlines ...

I already have hem... some dividers, but DIYing is much more fun because that way I can color code with my very own system.

PDFs and labels without OO

Katrina — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:53:01 -0400

Thanks for the dividers!

Re adding labels without OO...

If you only have Word or something similar and want to put labels onto a PDF
Open the PDF.
Choose Edit > Copy file to clipboard.

Open Word, Powerpoint or some similar application.
Using "paste special" paste the PDF as a Bitmap.

Then all you have to do is adjust the page margins/image size to match the size you want to print, and use text boxes etc to add in labels.

It's not perfect but it works OK for me.

Tabbed Dividers

JustJenny — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:58:35 -0500

I bought some decorated file folders at my local Office Max and hand cut them to be tabbed dividers. The file folders were beautiful with geometric black and white patterns which fit in beautifully with my planner. I can't wait to use these dividers you have created to make dividers for my planner. I will cut the file folders down to the right size to use in the printer and then use your design! Thank you!

Disculpe, pero me pregunto

Disculpe, pero me pregunto en que país de habla hispana se usa un calendario que comienza con los lunes? Yo pensaba que eso solo era costumbre americana y de algunos otros países.

How do you change the date?

LSK — Sun, 7 Mar 2010 11:04:16 -0500

I have the Message Pad 2100.

How do you change the date on it?

Also, where can I get a serial adapter so I can attach the Newton to the Mac?

Does it matter what OS I am using on the Mac?

Thanks so much

Have you tried storyboard? Its a little like Scrivener. Do a google search. You'll find it for sure.
Its also free.

Hello,

thanks for your comment.

I have received very few response for this tool though it was downloaded over 800 times so far.

I am currently working on an "international" version with which you can create calendars in many languages. This new version then will have your requested feature automatically.

There are also some problems that the header does not scale very properly. So if you want to print directly to a very small format the header still is too big. I think I will fix this for the next release.

i agree. But it's a good kind of dizzy.
im not sure what I could really use it for, besides decoration.
im tempted to make a calender with it, but practicality...

regular round hole punch + slit?

amyx231 — Fri, 5 Mar 2010 01:26:13 -0500

Im thinking of using my regular 1-hole punch and index cards (and regular, pre-punched paper), and using the thickest rubber o-rings i can find at home depot. I'd slit the paper holes. I hope that'd work, i tried with notebook paper and a chopstick and it held on to my move it around. I'm planning to get some rubber rings and some loose-leaf rings (prob no slits for this) this weekend; any reasons why this would not work?

Thanks!

If they invent a cure for this, I volunteer to be one of the test patients.

I ran across this link again while doing this same thing.

I only take solace in the fact that the cycles are getting longer, and I'm getting faster at seeing that I'm falling into one.

Sunday start for us Americans?

rlaundry — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:43:46 -0500

I don't get back here to DIY Planner too often anymore, but I do poke around now and then, and I just stumbled upon your great program. I love this particular format, and it is one ygor's Dynamic Templates still doesn't recreate, so this is a fantastic find!

That said, is there any chance of seeing a version (or an option in this version) to have the weeks start on Sunday for us American users? Truthfully, I don't mind the actual pages starting on Mondays for normal work-week use, but find the reference calenders on top jarring when they don't have the weeks starting on Sunday like our regular calendars do.

Aside from that small complaint... great work!
