The separation of form and function is part of the innovative layout concept that VIVA already invented for layout programs in 1990. In this way rectangles, circles, ellipses and Bézier objects may be displayed as graphic, image or text objects. Other layout programs (e.g. QuarkXPress® or Adobe® InDesign®) have adapted this concept, so that today millions of users benefit from the concept that was originally developed by VIVA.

[col class=”span6″]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”Walter”]I just downloaded and tested the newest Free Edition of VivaDesigner (on Ubuntu 9.04) and am really delighted with the program. Of all the layout programs I’ve tried up to now (Ventura Publisher, Pagemaker 6.5, InDesign and Scribus) I find VivaDesigner is the easiest program to use.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”James”]I have just downloaded your VivaDesigner program for Linux and am very impressed with it. I am looking for a replacement for MS Publisher [as I am trying to move over to Linux permanently] and it is looking like this may be it.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-high” author=”Axel”]I just made some extensive tests on the Free Edition yesterday. I can hardly tell you how delighted I am with it. I had actually given up looking for a modern replacement for XPress 3.3 or PageMaker 6.0. Then I remembered “VivaPress” and found your program in the Web. VivaDesigner reveals itself as so much more than a “modern replacement” for the above applications. Just what I was looking for: Full Unicode support, elegant (almost minimalistic) user interface and everything your heart desires in one logical structure, which today has become less and less frequent. A joy to use![/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-standard” author=”Frank”]I am very pleased how quickly I could find my way around the program as a beginner, thanks to the good documented introduction.[/bubble]
[bubble class=”viva-bubble-standard” author=”Olaf”]Many thanks for the extremely quick and friendly assistance. This is not the case everywhere. I will be sure to recommend you![/bubble]

Publishing solutions and concepts for associations
VIVA publishing technology is perfectly suited for use in associations. You can choose between an manual and an automatic production of print documents or even combine both production types.
Automatic production
With automatic production you create personalised stationery, posters and much more in the Internet with a VIVA publishing server as well as databases or Web forms. This automatic production is particularly suited for centrally controlled operations such as local or national elections.
The benefit: With automatic production, you can control the processes centrally and ensure that the association’s Corporate Design is adhered to. The user doesn‘t have to learn any software, but just fills in the fields in a form. In this way the Christian Democrat Union (CDU) used VIVA technology in the German national election in 2009 for the automatic creation of print documents for posters, stationery and advertising material.
Manual production
With manual production you use the typesetting and layout program VivaDesigner to create professional layout documents such as newspapers, magazines, mailings, information sheets, stationery, posters and much more. Manual production is particularly suited for very individual applications, but also for standard documents where the association’s Corporate Design must be adhered to.
The benefit: With automatic production, you work economically and are very flexible. With the Free Edition, your association and all members/employees have a free of charge program for all operating systems that is easy to use.
By contrast to the free of charge Free Edition, the license for the NGO/NPO* Edition for associations offers hyphenation, dictionaries, spell checking and a PDF output for a very low price. You can of course exchange documents between the NGO/NPO Edition and the Free Edition, so that not all members need to buy a license.

Publishing solutions and concepts for cultural institutions
VIVA publishing technology, particularly the typesetting and layout program VivaDesigner, is ideally suited for use in cultural institutions.
It makes no difference if you run a museum, a theatre, a n orchestra or another cultural institution: With VivaDesigner you create professional layouts for newspapers, magazines, mailings, information sheets, stationery, posters, tickets and much more.
With the Free Edition, you and your employees have a free of charge program that runs on all operating systems and is easy to use.
By contrast to the free of charge Free Edition, the NGO/NPO Edition for cultural institutions offers hyphenation, dictionaries, spell checking and a PDF output at a very low price. You can of course exchange documents between the NGO/NPO Edition and the Free Edition, so that not all members need to buy a license.
An overview of the editions and their functions can be found here: VivaDesigner Desktop and Web Editions
What makes VivaDesigner different from other programs for cultural institutions?
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 for your institution 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 fulfils all printers’ requirements.
2. Simplicity and functionality
Users confirm repeatedly that despite having over 1000 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. We call this technology “Distributed Publishing”.
If you want more information about Distributed Publishing with VivaDesigner click here.
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 fulfil 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 have the surety 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.

Publishing solutions and concepts for social institutions
VIVA publishing technology, particularly the typesetting and layout program VivaDesigner, is ideally suited for use in social institutions.
It makes no difference if you run a kindergarten, a youth centre, a a care and retirement home or another social institution: With VivaDesigner you create professional layouts for newspapers, magazines, information sheets, stationery, posters and much more.
With the Free Edition, your social institution and all employees have a free of charge program that runs on all operating systems and is easy to use.
