We have always shown our availability on our PMP site by using a clickable link that opens a pdf of the calendar(s). Always very simple and straightforward. I am just doing the 2016 calendars and they look fine in excel, but as soon as I convert them to PDF they look nothing like the excel spreadsheet Never had this before, can anyone tell me what I (or my laptop) am doing wrong or how I can fix it?

TIA

Without knowing the version of Excel and what features you have in your spreadsheet, it's difficult, if not impossible to know what your problem is.

Forgive me for stating the obvious question but why not simply embed a visible calendar into your PMP like all the other users of PMP? You have to really read the instructions carefully on your site to find where you've hidden the calendar, something which many people will simply miss.

Thanks everyone - I just needed a short term fix for yesterday while I am looking at the embedded calendar options. It seems to be my laptop that is the problem - everything worked as normal using OH's - go figure!!

Kev, the reason I did it the clunky roundabout way in the first place is that we have 2 gites and 2 B&B rooms so I need to display more than one lot of availability. Are there any calendars out there that will easily display three individual lines of availability rather than having three calendars? Bear in mind that anything technical starts to sound like gobbledegook to me after the first two words

All sorted - have managed to add a calendar that shows all our availability at once Still don't know why my PDFs aren't displaying properly, but as I don't need them now, that problem can go back down the list.

go to the 'edit website content' page and choose the page where you wish to display the calendar. From the Tools menu select 'Insert HTML snippet'. Copy the 'Embedded iframe' code from Dateblocker and paste into the box, then click OK. Finally, click 'Save' to put it onto the page.

Thanks Kev I wasn't sure which option was the best - I'll change it over today. Got too excited abut blocking off dates for when we are on holiday
