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.

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.
Distributed Publishing
With the optional “Distributed Publishing” module, designers can provide their customers, colleagues or employees with an open layout document for editing. For each individual document it may be defined which editing possibilities a user may have.

Virtual Drives
With virtual drives you can ensure that users can only open documents or images from an ODBC or MySQL Database or a Web drive, and under certain conditions only save them there. As an additional option, all local drives may be deactivated.
Different Layouts
Define several layouts within a text frame and change the column layout of the text with different widths and gutters for each column.
Define and apply Layout Style Sheets with different text column layouts.
Text Frames, Rules & Backgrounds
Apply frames to single or a group of paragraphs, lines, words or characters. Apply rules to single or a group of paragraphs, lines, words or characters. Apply colored backgrounds for characters or whole paragraphs and/or define a frame. Embed graphic, text, table or image objects in the text and define the runaround behavior (one side, both sides, etc.)
