With version 9.5 you can not only switch complete layers on and off, but also individual objects on these layers.
New layer options (9.5)
New PSD & PSB import
Import images in the native PSD format or, for very large images, in PSB format, and use the image layers option to switch individual components on and off.
Layouts with more than 2GB
The limitation of the layout file size to 2 Gigabyte has been removed. This is particularly relevant to the embedding of large amounts of data for images, as you will find in a photo book application.
Native InDesign INDD Import (10.0)
The import of InDesign documents has been significantly improved and adapted to the new functions (new image formats, new path options, etc.). The highlight: We decoded the native InDesign format (.indd). Now you can import not only IDML, but also native InDesign documents in INDD format. This works even if you don’t have an InDesign document.
Furthermore: In the Web Edition you can even drag and drop InDesign documents onto the browser window and open them!
Convert Text to Paths
You can convert text outlines to object paths and edit these paths. At the same time, holes in letters are retained. These new objects can also contain text or images.
Pathfinder
Several objects can be combined to one object with the Pathfinder. Thus you can create compound paths in a simple way. With this function, you can also create transparent holes in objects.
Clipping (Automatic)
Normally the borders of an image can only be displayed transparent if an Alpha channel or a clipping path exists. VivaDesigner 8 can display images with white or uni-colored borders as transparent automatically (clipping), so that you often save yourself this time-consuming work.
Fast Object/Image Rotation
With the new Rotation tool, image content (A) and objects (B) can be rotated in seconds without changing tools.
Quark XPress Conversion
With the introduction of VivaDesigner 8, we offer the optional service of a conversion from QuarkXPress documents in formats 4.0 to 9.0. Send us your QuarkXPress documents to check the quality of the conversion. Depending on the program edition a certain amount of documents are converted free of charge, for additional documents we raise a minimal administration fee.
Faster than ever
VivaDesigner has been made considerably faster in many functional areas. The opening of documents has been accelerated threefold, and text entry by ten to a hundredfold.
