If you're trying to convert ICS (iCalendar) to PDF manually, the first step is to open the ICS file using a calendar app like Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar. Once you've imported it, you'll see the events pop up in your calendar. From there, you can either take screenshots or use the print function to capture the calendar view. Finally, just hit the print dialog (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) and choose "Save as PDF" instead of actually printing. Alternatively, you can paste those screenshots into a document (like Word or Google Docs) and then export it as a PDF.
However, this method does come with a couple of downsides: (1) PDFs lose their interactivity, so any clickable event links and reminders won’t function; (2) the whole process is pretty manual and can be time-consuming, involving several steps like importing, capturing, and converting.
For those looking for a more efficient way to convert ICS files to PDF, the DRS Softech ICS Converter Tool is a great option. It’s user-friendly and reliable, capable of handling bulk conversions while keeping your data intact. Plus, it supports multiple formats, making it a handy tool for managing calendar data effectively. It works on both Windows and Mac, so a wide range of users can take advantage of its features. Here’s how to convert ICS to PDF using this tool:
1. Download the DRS Softech ICS Converter Tool and install it by following the prompts on your screen.
2. Click the “Add File/Add Folder” button to import your ICS file. Navigate to where your ICS file is saved, select it, and click “Open.”
3. The software will scan and extract all the event details from the ICS files, and you’ll see a preview window showing the event details.
4. In the Save/Migrate/Backup As section, choose the file format, and from the options available, select PDF as your desired output format.
5. Use Additional Filtering Options
To manage attachments effectively, you can choose one of the following options:
- Remove Duplicate Entries – Enable the “Remove Duplicate ICS File Based on Subject, Start Date & End Date” option.
- Save Attachments Separately – This option lets you keep attachments in a separate folder, away from the main file.
- Exclude Attachments – Choose this setting if you want to convert the ICS file without any attachments included.
6. You can also pick between General CSV and Google CSV Format. Just select the one that works best for your needs when saving the file.
7. Extra Filtering Options
- Date Filters: Use these filters to include only events that fall within a specific date range or meet certain criteria.
- Custom File Naming: You can set a name for the converted file that makes it easier to find later.
8. Click on Destination Path and choose the folder where you’d like to save the converted PDF file.
9. Hit the Convert button to kick off the process. The software will start converting the ICS file(s) into PDF format.
