The professional business publishing program with a single convenient layout environment for processing text, tables, drawings, pictures and graphs.

In RagTime, you can enter figures, calculate and prepare graphs, write the accompanying text, place logos and pictures and create illustrations. All common file formats can be imported directly into RagTime. In RagTime, all of the work is done in a true page layout view, which ensures that the printed document looks exactly like the RagTime document. RagTime is especially suitable for creating price lists, catalogs, business reports, analyses, overviews and sales documents. With RagTime, you can set forms, automate reporting functions, publish periodicals or create questionnaires. Create documents that are alive, which you can change at the very last minute.

From Internet to color inkjet and laser printers to output on a professional image setter for four-color printing, RagTime supports every possible output.

“Business Publishing” is the keyword: With RagTime, you can quickly transform all of your business information into impressive high-quality documents.

Business publishing is more than DTP. Besides text and pictures, in RagTime, you can also use graphs, spreadsheets and drawings like you would in a page layout program. As a consequence, you can design better sales documents, price lists, analyses and reports. (A typical form in RagTime 5 is much more than just a design template.)

Dynamic links create an active document. If the figures are modified, a diagram will adapt to the changes. The text flow can also contain analysis formulas or even a spreadsheet. And here again, the dynamic link ensures that everything is up-to-date and consistent. Nonetheless, you retain the freedom to individually modify each page.

As the only publishing program, RagTime has a spreadsheet, which is suitable for demanding tabular applications, that uses paragraph and font styles, that can read Excel tables and has over 200 functions, which can be used for calculations and analysis. In our example, the pictures were placed directly in the spreadsheet cells, therefore last minute changes are no problem at all. Regardless of whether you insert or delete lines, pictures and text will always be moved correctly, even from one page to another. The color management ensures that even spreadsheets are output perfectly on the printer. 

Convincing sales arguments demand perfect sales documents. In this case, the tools of a modern page layout program are a clear must: Free positioning of all elements, rotation of any object, text flows in free forms, selection of the colors (even using the CMYK model), importing pictures in the standard file formats such as EPSF, TIFF, JPEG etc. RagTime 5 keeps going: Diagrams and tabular calculations are also integrated seamlessly. Let your layout calculate the discount schedules itself or replace the conditions to suit the customer category. You can select the customer category directly form the displayed menu. Digital images of products provide your customer with additional information. 

Periodic business reports and analyses can be efficiently produced with RagTime. Linked spreadsheets and graphs always show your most recent data. With electronic stationery pads and free style sheets, the routine tasks take care of themselves.
