You can define printing templates which are collections of settings for the output. Saving and deleting these templates has been enhanced as well.
Printer Settings (9.5)
Preview Quality (9.5)
Layout programs normally display a preview of the imported image in 72 DPI. When using vector images (illustrations) and/or you zoom in, you won´t see to many details (ie. small font sizes). In the new version you can define the quality of the preview by default in the preferences or for every individual image.
13: Intelligent Image Replacement (9.5)
With the intelligent image replacement you keep the ratio/crop of the image, even if you replace the same image with a different resolution.
14: Enhanced InDesign Support (9.5)
The InDesign import and export has been enhanced. In most cases you just open the IDML and there is no need for any changes in the options. if you are not sure what these options mean, you don´t need to read the manual. Just move the mouse over the option to get a tool tip help.
09: Scripts in menus (9.5)
With the new script function you can reach for comfort and security in VivaDesigner. For the first time scripts can be started via the script palette, bit also via the program menu. More that 20 predefined areas give you the freedom to place your scripts in the progam menu whereever you want 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.
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.
