The options for lines have been completely redesigned. Improved line patterns and endings, as well as options for line ends, line corners and line alignments leave nothing to be desired. The new options have perfected the import of Adobe InDesign documents and the native import of PDF, Adobe Illustrator and SVG files.
New and improved guides
Working with Smart Guides has been drastically improved. The option now also addresses normal guides/guide objects as well as the new bleed option that can be defined in the document settings.
Enhanced PDF Output (9.5)
With the new Color Space Conversion and the Color Profile Integration you can create perfect PDFs for the target color space.
12: Visualizing Locked Objects/Layers (10.0)
Use locked objects/layers and individual access rights to ensure that other users only edit the objects you have shared. However, the user must first recognize which objects are editable. The new option for visualizing locked objects/layers that can be displayed transparently is a great help. This display has no effect on printing and is only shown on the screen.
12: New HTML text import
With the new HTML import you can import HTML text perfectly with all its attributes. The tags or class definitions used in HTML are automatically mapped to existing style sheets in the document. In this way you can create text in any browser application and display it in VivaDesigner in different styles, always with typographic perfection. This all works fully automatically without any programming, complicated tables of manual editing. This option is particularly suited for working with CMS or publishing systems and VIVA publishing servers.
12: Enhanced Print (9.5)
The output on normal (laser/inkjet) printers was enhanced again and from now on you don´t need any additional software.
20: Images (10.0)

BMP-, WMF-, EMF-Import
Import images in BMP, WMF, and EMF formats. The support of these image formats, which should not be used in the publishing area, have been implemented as a matter of priority to ensure greater compatibility when importing documents from other programs.
New Eyedropper function
With the Eyedropper function you apply all the attributes of an object, text or an image to other objects, text or images in seconds.
Printer Settings (9.5)
You can define printing templates which are collections of settings for the output. Saving and deleting these templates has been enhanced as well.
New Text Options (10.0)
OpenType Functions
With the OpenType functions you achieve even better typographic results. While InDesign only supports 20, VivaDesigner supports more than 140 OpenType functions.
