Printing tips

• Set the paper size in the print dialog to the same paper you picked here (A4 or Letter).
• Leave scale at 100% or “Default”. “Fit to page” shrinks the sheet a little.
• Turn off “Headers and footers” so the browser does not add the address and date to the edges.
• Month layouts read best in landscape; the year and the week planner in portrait.
• For a wall calendar, print the twelve months one after another using the filmstrip, then staple the top edge.

Questions

How do I get a PDF?

Press “Print / Save PDF”, then choose “Save as PDF” as the destination (Chrome, Edge, Android) or “PDF” at the bottom-left of the dialog (Safari on macOS).

Which week start should I use?

Monday for Tunisia, France and ISO week numbers. Many families in the Gulf prefer Saturday or Sunday; the UAE’s official working week has run Monday to Friday since 2022.

Why does an Eid say “est.”?

Islamic months begin when the new crescent is seen, which is announced the evening before. Paperdate prints the Umm al-Qura date and updates it once the official announcement is made. Dates already announced (all of 2026 for Tunisia and the UAE) are shown as confirmed.

Where do the Hijri dates come from?

From the Umm al-Qura table published by KACST, the calendar used in Saudi Arabia and as the civil reference in much of the Gulf. Tunisia and the UAE fix religious holidays after the crescent is sighted, so an Eid can land a day later than the table.

How are French holidays that move worked out?

Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday come from the Gregorian Easter algorithm; the other eight are fixed dates.

Are my settings kept?

Your last layout, country and paper are remembered in this browser only, so the next sheet opens the way you left it.
