The “VivaDoc Server” is a server for automatic conversion of documents. The “VivaDoc Server” can convert VIVA XML, Adobe^® InDesign^® IDML or native VIVA documents into PDF, VIVA XML, Adobe^® InDesign^® IDML or native VIVA documents files. The “VivaDoc Server” can for example be used in conjunction with Online Shops if users want to create VIVA documents and output these as Hi-Res PDFs. The VivaDoc Server is also extremely well suited for applications in “Distributed Publishing”, where the user may have limited output rights, and a central server takes over the task of creating the PDFs. Also, organizations may use the VivaDoc Server in conjunction with the “Free Edition” of VivaDesigner, which does not enable PDF output.

Note: The “VivaDesigner Server” has no possibility of creating PDFs from VivaDesigner documents automatically. The background is the fact that this function is frequently not required or that another Viva Publishing Server must create the PDFs. This is for example the case when as well as the “VivaDesigner Server” another Publishing Server is used to process forms. This server can also create PDFs.

Price model
You can buy or rent the “VivaDoc Server”. In both cases, as with all Viva servers, the execution of a service and support contract is obligatory. The annual service and support charge is 16% of the purchase price.

The “VivaNWP Server” creates completed layouts fully automatically based on a data source and a template that was created with the “VivaNWP Designer” (CP and/or IP Edition).
The VivaNWP Server can for example be used in conjunction with online shops, PIM, CMS, DAM, ERP systems or other corporate applications to create VIVA or PDF documents based on forms. In the same way as VivaNWP Designer there are different versions of the program for different application purposes.

Creative Publishing Edition (CP)

With the “Creative Publishing” Edition, you define a layout and optionally a suitable set of rules. The rules are used to define which objects and content should appear how and where, depending on the data. This edition is suitable for STATIC layouts and FULLY automatic production. These include business documents, visiting cards, posters, etc. Static means here that a layout describes one whole page.

Intelligent Publishing Edition (IP)

With the “Intelligent Publishing” Edition, you define a layout and optionally a suitable set of rules. This edition is suitable for simple, DYNAMIC layouts and FULLY automatic production. These include price lists, catalogs, etc.. Dynamic means here that the server calculates the page breaks according to the settings in the template and the data delivered. A further feature of this edition is its ability to produce highly complex layouts including tables, charts and graphs or barcodes. While all the editions are able to process whole pages, the “Intelligent Publishing” edition is also able to build a page from page components. Just like the building block principle, pages are built up according to predefined rules.

Creative/Intelligent Publishing Edition (CP/IP)

This edition offers the functions of both the “Creative Publishing” Edition and the “Intelligent Publishing” Edition in one program. This combination is suitable when both static and dynamic layouts are needed.

The »VivaGate Composer« unlimited print-ready layout of image compositions or complete Ads/Pages in a Web browser.

The »VivaGate Composer« is a browser-based application that is especially suited for unlimited layout of image compositions or complete Ads.

An automation of document production fails not infrequently due to the necessity of combining different text/image elements. This is exactly where the VivaGate Composer comes in. It gives the user the possibility of combining predefined or individual images and text in any way on one working area.

With the integrated layer technology and the application of categories, all elements may be placed individually, scaled, switched off and moved up or down in the hierarchy, in just the same way as in a layout program.

The “VivaNWP Server” creates completed layouts fully automatically based on a data source and a template that was created with the “VivaNWP Designer” (CP and/or IP Edition). The VivaNWP Server can for example be used in conjunction with online shops, PIM systems or other corporate applications to create VIVA or PDF documents based on forms. In the same way as VivaNWP Designer there are different versions of the program for different application purposes.

License & price model
The license model for the VivaNWP Server is based on a page model in several stages. The first stage describes the number of pages in a document, and the second describes the number of pages per year.
1st Stage: Number of pages per document. The entry “CP4” means for example that the product is a VivaNWP Server in “Creative Publishing” Edition (CP), in which you can create up to 4 pages per document. With “CP12” a document can have up to 12 pages, and with just CP a document can have any number of pages.

2nd Stage: Number of pages per year. The entry “2.500” means for example that with this server version you can create 2500 document pages per year. Thus in four years a total of 10,000 pages and in 10 years 25,000 document pages are created. It should be noted here that the program does not differentiate between Low-Res and High-Res PDFs or other output formats. Every page is counted. If the user wants to create more than 2,500 pages per year, he must choose a higher option or upgrade if necessary. The price for an upgrade is calculated on 120% of the difference between the price of the server purchased and the server now required. The name »Enterprise« means that there is no annual limit in the number of document pages. Even though the number of pages relates to an annual usage, the purchase price shown is a ONE-OFF price and NOT an annual price.

You can buy or rent the “VivaNWP Server”. In both cases, as with all Viva servers, the execution of a service and support contract is obligatory. The annual service and support charge is 16% of the purchase price.

The original from the inventor of the “Publishing Server”:

Leading corporations use the “VIVA Publishing Server” to produce documents fully automatically via the Internet or networks.

“Network Publishing” means: Create print-ready documents fully automatically using a publishing server in the Internet or via a network, without any graphic, typesetting or printing knowledge or experience. While previous technologies on the Internet are limited with simple layouts (e.g. “Web-to-Print”), you produce complete catalogs, data sheets and much more directly from your product control system or ERP system, your Office program or any Internet/Intranet/Web application.

Advantages for end users/companies:

• Produce 24 hours a day, any time, anywhere.
• Ensure your CI is adhered to.
• No problems with fonts, images, languages.

Advantages for Service bureau/printer:

• Customer creation of print-ready documents.
• Excellent customer integration.
• Stable prices, high production volume.
• No responsibility for print data content.
• Improve organization and communication between customer and supplier.

What is the VivaDesigner Server?

The “VivaDesigner Server” (VDS) is a server technology which the typesetting and layout program VivaDesigner can be used in a browser, whereby neither JAVA nor Flash nor any Plug-in is needed. The only pre-requisite is an HTML5 compatible browser*. Since for communication with the “VivaDesigner Server” just standard ports (Port 80 or Port 443 with SSL) are used, the software can in almost all cases be used by every computer, even by corporate computers with appropriate restrictions.

With the “VivaDesigner Server”, suppliers of Internet shops, CMS, PIM, CRM, ERP systems or Asset Management Software can offer their customers tailor-made solutions that in the realms of layout and typography go far beyond the functionality and capability of HTML, Flash and JAVA applications. With the combination of Desktop and/or Web, completely new processes of customer communication can be created.

For whom is the technology suited?

	Agencies, printers and Media Service providers can develop completely new and streamlined processes in the layout, editing and proofing of documents and of communication with their customers.
	End users and corporations world-wide can jointly edit, manage and exchange documents with complex layouts in every functionality, every typographic quality and every language in a simple way.
	Solution providers and software developers can provide programs or Websites with which users can create new documents or edit existing ones. Thus software developers can complete the product portfolio.
	Internet providers and IT departments can offer public or private Cloud services around the subject of publishing, graphic design and editing.

What advantages does the technology offer?

	Every operating system With the “VivaDesigner Web Edition” it makes no difference if you are working with a Mac, Windows or Linux computer. You get the same result on all operating systems.
	Every browser Many “Web-To-Print” applications look different according to the browser in use. This can have fatal consequences for the display of fonts and hyphenation. With the “VivaDesigner Web Edition” you ALWAYS get the same result and ALWAYS the same quality, irrelevant of which HTML5 compatible browser* you use!
	No Installations To use VivaDesigner in the Web, you just need an up-to-date browser. NOTHING must be installed, neither Plug-ins nor “Java” or “Flash”. You just need the naked browser.
	No updates or viruses Since nothing has to be installed, no “Java” or “Flash”, you will never get a virus problem. You don’t have to update or upgrade any software to newer versions.
	No font problems If you use VivaDesigner in the Web, there are no more font problems. The days are gone in which the corporate font had to be installed on every computer and you had to work with software that allowed only a limited font range. In many cases, all the fonts required can be embedded in the documents, so that often no installation is necessary.
	No language problems With VivaDesigner, you edit text in every language in the world, including Asian and Middle-Eastern languages. Furthermore, all VIVA programs have a multilingual user interface in many languages, which may be changed at will.
	Support for Mobile Publishing You can even use the “VivaDesigner Web Edition” in a rudimentary way on mobile devices such as Tablets or Smartphones. VIVA will be extending this functionality in the future.
	No redundancy Many users of “Web-to-Print” solutions have to construct their documents twice: Once in the layout program and a special Template Editor. With the VIVA technology this is no longer necessary.
	Open standard With VivaDesigner you don’t have to rebuild your designs. Just import documents from “Adobe® InDesign®” and if required re-export them in this format. Thanks to the open XML format, the VIVA technology is accessible for everyone. VIVA documents can be created, saved, managed and edited in every third party application.
	One solution for pros and beginners With the additional module “Distributed Publishing”, you have the option as the document creator/administrator of defining access rights for individual sections of documents. You can define exactly which layout and editing rights your colleagues or customers may have in a VIVA document. Thus with just one software product and depending on requirements, the user has the functionality of a layout program, a word processing or a photo book application at his fingertips.
	Protect your documents As a graphic designer or a printer, you can protect your documents and even individual layers from third-party access with a personalized password. In this way, the user can only make changes according to your wishes. Without the password, no-one can edit or print the document.
	Work in the Cloud With VivaDesigner you define whether a user can use the documents locally or just open them in a network or the Internet. You can define how the documents are returned to you fully automatically or are saved in a network or the Internet.
	No training Due to the compatibility with comparable layout programs, professionals will soon find their way without any major training. If you limit the functionality of the program with access rights, beginners too will not need to learn any new software. In this case, general knowledge of word processing will be sufficient, even for complex layouts.
	Optional editing system If the possibilities provided by access rights are not sufficient for you and several users are to work on a document simultaneously, you can extend VivaDesigner to make a complete editing system.
	Optional Database Publishing If the possibilities provided in the manual creation of documents are not sufficient for you, you can extend VivaDesigner into a “Database Publishing” application and automatically or semi-automatically produce catalogs or price lists based on a database.
	Optional publishing server If the possibilities of “Database Publishing” are not sufficient, you can use VivaDesigner in a server version to produce catalogs, packaging, posters or price lists fully automatically from SAP, a database or a Website.
	Simple Integration VIVA is the perfect tool for software developers, who want to extend their application with publishing functions.

License model

The license model for the “VivaDesigner-Server” relates to a maximum number of users (Instances) with simultaneous access to the server (“Concurrent User Model”). The server registers the number of instances applied and provides each registered user with access to the application. If all the instances are in use, an additional user must wait until another user has closed his instance and thus this instance has become available. Since the usage behavior, i.e. the number of instances required for VivaDesigner, cannot always be exactly predetermined, VIVA offers the so-called “Plus Package”. Please see the details in the section entitled “Plus Package”.

Price model

The “VivaDesigner Server” is a completely open and transparent standard software solution that can be configured and extended according to your individual requirements. Compared to other vendors’ products you can either rent or even buy the “VivaDesigner Server”. Whether you rent or buy the software, you can decide for yourself how/where you want to run the “VivaDesigner Server”. You can host the “VivaDesigner Server” on your computers, in your data center or in our data center.

Thus the following combinations are possible:

	BUY and host on customer’s premises or in any data center
	BUY and host with VIVA.
	RENT and host on customer’s premises or in any data center
	RENT and host with VIVA

If the software should be run on your computers, the initial installation will be carried out remotely by our technicians. As with all Viva servers, the execution of a service and support contract is obligatory. The annual service and support charge is 16% of the purchase price.
