[col class=”span6″]

[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”Walter”]I just downloaded and tested the newest Free Edition of VivaDesigner (on Ubuntu 9.04) and am really delighted with the program. Of all the layout programs I’ve tried up to now (Ventura Publisher, Pagemaker 6.5, InDesign and Scribus) I find VivaDesigner is the easiest program to use.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”James”]I have just downloaded your VivaDesigner program for Linux and am very impressed with it. I am looking for a replacement for MS Publisher [as I am trying to move over to Linux permanently] and it is looking like this may be it.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”Axel”]I just made some extensive tests on the Free Edition yesterday. I can hardly tell you how delighted I am with it. I had actually given up looking for a modern replacement for XPress 3.3 or PageMaker 6.0. Then I remembered “VivaPress” and found your program in the Web. VivaDesigner reveals itself as so much more than a “modern replacement” for the above applications. Just what I was looking for: Full Unicode support, elegant (almost minimalistic) user interface and everything your heart desires in one logical structure, which today has become less and less frequent. A joy to use![/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-standard” author=”Frank”]I am very pleased how quickly I could find my way around the program as a beginner, thanks to the good documented introduction.[/bubble]

You don’t get that very often and it’s simply wonderful! Very many thanks.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-standard” author=”Jürgen”]Many thanks for your excellent support. … Since you are heavily engaged in further development of your program and provide exemplary support, I am sure that there will always be a solution for any problems that may crop up.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-standard” author=”Sylvia”]Many thanks for the extremely quick and positive reply to my request, I am delighted.[/bubble]

Team Publishing

With the optional “Team Publishing” module, editing systems may be created simply and quickly in which several people work simultaneously on one document. In the development of the module, the requirements of both larger and smaller publishers were considered.
Click here for more info.

Footnotes and Endnotes

Create footnotes and endnotes by document or chapter, which may appear at the end of the page, at the end of the layout or at the end of the story. Define in which and over how many columns footnotes and endnotes are displayed.

Welcome to the future of publishing!

VivaDesigner is the first typesetting and layout program in the world for both desktop and Web. This economically priced high end DTP program is extremely powerful and still very easy to use. With its innovative concepts, you can decisively improve your working processes and document management. With VivaDesigner, all collaborations between end customers, corporations and their employees as well as agencies, service providers, printers and editors can be simplified and dramatically improved.

What makes VivaDesigner different from other programs?

With the mass of programs that have recently come into the market, it is even for a professional very hard to understand and decide which tool is the best. We have collected a few aspects for you that explain why VivaDesigner is a very good choice in every case:

1. High end DTP program
VivaDesigner is a professional typesetting and layout program for all platforms. It is comparable with such programs as “Adobe InDesign®” and “QuarkXPress®” and in some areas offers more functions than these high end DTP programs. In thousands of cases, VivaDesigner is used in the Media sector and by corporations for the creation of professional print documents. VivaDesigner is a “genuine” layout program, not “word processing with layout options”, like “Microsoft Word®” or “Apple Pages®”. VivaDesigner fulfills all printers’ requirements.

2. Simplicity & functionality
Users confirm repeatedly that despite having over 1.000 functions, VivaDesigner has a very clear structure and is very easy to use. Furthermore, for professional organisations VivaDesigner offers the additional option of limiting the editing functions of documents. In this way usage becomes so simple that even a layman with basic knowledge of word processing or photo books will find his way around, although he is using a professional layout program. For the layman all the locked functions will be completely switched off and not just grayed out.

You can find more information here: LINK

3. Price-performance relation
VivaDesigner is the only commercial high end DTP program to be available not only as a licensed version but also as a full free of charge program version. There are of course other free layout programs, but these frequently do not fulfill the requirements of printers or bind you to one (print) service provider. The licensed version offers all the functions of the commercial full version for a fraction of the price of comparable software.

4. Desktop and/or Web
VivaDesigner is the only layout program in the world that runs on the desktop on ALL operating systems and in the Web in ALL modern browsers. You or your members/colleagues can therefore decide for yourselves if the documents should be edited on the desktop or in the Web. Even a combination of desktop and Web is possible.

5. Compatibility
All editions are able to import or open files from other programs such as “Adobe InDesign®” (in IDML format), “MS-Word®” (in RTF-Format) or “MS-Excel®” (by Drag & Drop). The licensed version is also able to write documents in InDesign format (IDML). Thus you can be sure of being able to import your data into other programs at any time. As far as we know, only VivaDesigner can do this (Status Feb. 2014).

6. Upgradability
With VIVA publishing technology, documents can not only be created manually with VivaDesigner, but also semi-automatically or fully automatically via databases or Web applications. With this type of production, particularly complex catalogs or price lists can be created with a keystroke.

You can find an overview of all production types here.

Optimum Output

For the output of signatures, VivaImpose supports all PostScript output devices from Adobe PostScript Level 2 or higher and their corresponding OPI servers for exchanging hi-res data, whether the output is to an imagesetter (CtF), a proofing device, a Computer-to-Plate system (CtP) or a digital printing machine.

Spread management

Although with VivaImpose usually a manual imposition of single pages is not necessary, it can be that in practice the printed signature is larger than the output device. In this case VivaImpose can tile the signatures automatically, and the user can enter an overlapping area.
