No luck so far, apparently Adobe's Distiller doesn't have a "calender
device":

|  %Calender% currentdevparams
|  copy /Year load 4 string cvs show

resulting in

|  %%[ Error: stackunderflow; OffendingCommand: copy ]%%

and

|  (%Calender%) currentdevparams
|  copy /Year load 4 string cvs show

resulting in

|  %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: currentdevparams ]%%
|
|  Stack:
|  (%Calender%)
