Tools for creating a 2007 calendar in Adobe Illustrator?

We are creating a calendar to sell as a fundraiser.

Do you know of an Adobe Illustrator template or plugin for creating a 2007 calendar? Alternatively, can you recommend a calendar-making application that outputs AI files?

Best answer: You might want to check out http://www.adobe.com/exchange/ and browse through the Adobe Illustrator selection. They have various templates in .ai format that are already laid out for you.

For what it's worth: I'm not so sure that Illustrator would be the best program for this. You may already know this, but a program like Adobe InDesign could be better suited for this project. While it does not, ASAIK, export to AI, it will create PDFs, which Illustrator can open.

Anyway, on preview, what cheero said - check out Exchange. Very, very good stuff is available to download, and there is some '07 calendar stuff (for Illustrator) that I saw in my quick 10 second search.

ASAIK -> AFAIK

Alternatively write up a quick Python (replace with scripting language of choice) script to export a calendar as SVG. IIRC Illustrator can import SVG. There might even be some SVG Calendar generators online.
