[O] Export a weekly calendar view from org-agenda

[Torsten Wagner]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to export an agenda in form of a weekly calendar.

For the good old "offline" times, I would like to carry a printed version of e.g., the last week, current week and the next week with me (e.g. printed all on a double sided printed A5 page).

That would allow me to jot down changes and have a quick look on my schedules at all time. Those changes, I would transfer back as soon as I sit again in front of a PC.

I notice that I tend to forget to enter appointments just out of my head esp. if things get busy.

The second benefit would be that I can file those weekly paper copies, in a classic manner and hence keep a paper based backup version (which due to the overlap even has a CVS like versioning mechanism ;)) just in case.

I started to use org-caldav and hence, I know about the possibility to perform an export to caldav and using a calendar program with caldav support to print such a calendar.

However, the groupware I am using does not allow pretty printing of the web-based client and I hesitate to install another client (most are big beasts like thunderbird+lightning, evolution, etc.) just for printing.

In addition I would like to keep the workflow more org-mode centric and not caldav centric. Hence, a direct export from org-mode would be more welcome.

I somehow remember that there was a way to create a PDF file but I can't find it anymore and I remember that the entries overlapped each other and it wasn't that pretty.

Does someone here has a method or work-chain to export a org-agenda into such a calendar view?

I'm happy with an external (console script, TeX, etc.) solution too.

Alternatively, I am happy to hear how others try to get paper and org versions together.

Thanks

Torsten
