VivaDesigner is available free of charge (»Free Edition«). The licensed »Personal Edition« for private users and the »Commercial Edition« for corporate users have additional functions.
VivaDesigner is the first layout program world-wide to run in a modern Web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (IE), Firefox®, Apple® Safari® or Google® Chrome®. No installations are necessary: No program, no fonts, no Java®, no Flash® and no PlugIns.
VivaDesigner runs on all major platforms: Windows, Linux and Mac. The file formats are identical on all three, so that users can swap documents between any operating system.
Take advantage of the many layout possibilities of the Alias technology, with which you can create virtual copies of objects and pages. Similar to Master pages (Alias pages), Alias objects are dependent copies of an original object: if the original is altered, all Alias objects change automatically, separated according to content and form.
With the hyphenation and spell checking function, VivaDesigner sets new quality standards. For the first time a layout program offers (depending on the language and module) hyphenations with definable quality levels as well as a manual and automatic spell check that displays errors in the text immediately. Furthermore, the language independent grammar check for text is unique in that it displays grammatical errors.
Often style sheets are created but their assignment is incorrect or forgotten. If style sheets are optically very similar to one another, it is almost impossible to find such errors in conventional layout programs. By visualising style sheets, you can find errors on a page or in a document in seconds.
The option “Package & Send” (VIVA FileSender) enables the completed document to be sent to VIVA or a predefined recipient fully automatically with all fonts and images and sends you a confirmation message with all the required information.
VivaDesigner is the first layout program to offer the possibility of opening and saving documents directly via the Internet. With this new technology, companies and users can manage their documents centrally and have the option of providing them to selected user groups. By storing in the Internet, you have access to your documents from anywhere in the world at any time. To increase security and performance, individual Clouds or Intranets can be used.
Standard Colors and Style Sheets are optionally translated automatically according to the selected language. In this way, just one single document can be passed to users with different languages for editing. With this technology, companies, agencies, printers or service providers can create document “templates” that are understood immediately in every country.
