While Microsoft Outlook already offers a built-in feature to share your calendar, it could be a little inconvenient for someone who doesn’t use Outlook or uses a different email service. So saving the calendar as a PDF and sharing might be a viable option.
That way, you wouldn’t even have to manage any permission access to the shared calendar. At the same time, you can let them letting others view all your appointments/meetings for a particular month.
Once you share the calendar’s PDF version, others can access it on almost any device without having to install the Outlook app or create an Outlook account. Plus, you can save a copy to view it offline as well.
