Working with EPS files has been significantly improved: With the new PostScript Renderer technology, VivaDesigner creates a crisp preview of vector EPS images on all platforms. If the use of embedded previews is deactivated in the Preferences, the sharpness and color rendering of EPS Bitmap images also is frequently improved. With this new technology, EPS images can also be used in a PDF workflow.
A new design for palettes was established with version 9.0. Now this new design is also available for dialogs.
The new Web Edition makes design in the browser a unique experience. Whether you’re editing one, ten or a hundred document pages, the speed is so fascinating that you won’t notice a difference between a desktop and web version, even at low bandwidths. Depending on your configuration, you can print documents directly to the local printer and drag and drop images directly from the desktop into the layout document.
Use new effects on objects that thanks to the native transparency support of PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5 can be output perfectly. These include “Inner Shadow”, “Inner and Outer Glow”, “Color Overlay” and the novel “reflection effect”. With the “Preflight” option, you can also still check your document for effects.
UHD support was already established with version 9.0. Now the program also supports Retina displays.
No program and no computer works without errors. Errors are annoying if, for example, files are stored on defective sectors of the data carrier. In such cases, the documents are often irretrievably defective because no software can prevent this problem. With VivaDesigner 10’s new backup technology, you can work around this problem by accessing older versions of the same document at any time, even if they were edited months ago.
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.
With the new Rotation tool, image content (A) and objects (B) can be rotated in seconds without changing tools.
The import of Adobe® InDesign® IDML documents w.e.f. version CS4 to CC has been further improved. Conversion of older versions than CS4 are available as a service on request. At the same time the export to Adobe® InDesign® (CS4 to CC) has been considerably improved. Thus, depending on the complexity of the documents, a permanent exchange between both programs is possible.
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.
