VivaDesigner is the first layout program world-wide to run in a modern Web browser such as Microsoft^® Internet Explorer^® (IE), Firefox^®, Apple^® Safari^® or Google^® Chrome^®. No installations are necessary: No program, no fonts, no Java^®, no Flash^® and no PlugIns.

VivaDesigner runs on all major platforms: Windows, Linux and Mac. The file formats are identical on all three, so that users can swap documents between any operating system.

Take advantage of the many layout possibilities of the Alias technology, with which you can create virtual copies of objects and pages. Similar to Master pages (Alias pages), Alias objects are dependent copies of an original object: if the original is altered, all Alias objects change automatically, separated according to content and form.

With the hyphenation and spell checking function, VivaDesigner sets new quality standards. For the first time a layout program offers (depending on the language and module) hyphenations with definable quality levels as well as a manual and automatic spell check that displays errors in the text immediately. Furthermore, the language independent grammar check for text is unique in that it displays grammatical errors.

Often style sheets are created but their assignment is incorrect or forgotten. If style sheets are optically very similar to one another, it is almost impossible to find such errors in conventional layout programs. By visualising style sheets, you can find errors on a page or in a document in seconds.

The option “Package & Send” (VIVA FileSender) enables the completed document to be sent to VIVA or a predefined recipient fully automatically with all fonts and images and sends you a confirmation message with all the required information.
