Quark XPress 9

Some of our customers encountered QuarkXPress 9 crashes during the XPress startup on Macs where RagTime and Quark are installed. We investigated the problem and found that this is a failure of XPress 9 and needs to be addressed by Quark. We reported the problem to Quark Germany with the problem ID: Quark XPress-Problem; Rk (#2880-231982150-5642). Refer to the support at Quark with this reference number, if you encount this issue. We will update this information as soon as we receive newer information.

Creating PDF files for free

RagTime documents can be exported to PDF. By default, Adobe Distiiler is utilized both on Windows and Mac OS X. Distiller is the best choice for the printing industry, but comes with an additional price tag. However, there are cost-free alternatives, if the PDF is to be used on the monitor, in the web, or to be printed on a desktop printer only. Mac OS X has its own built-in PostScript to PDF converter. And for Windows GhostScript distributed with the GNU General Public License can be used. The later is no part of RagTime, but has to be installed separately.
