You can now create and choose between multiple workspaces.
Multiple Workspaces (9.5)
Native PDF Import (PDF to Layout) (10.0)
Of course you can place a PDF in a picture object in VivaDesigner 10. But with the new, unique, native PDF import, you can create a layout document from any PDF that you can edit at will. This allows you to import documents quickly and easily from layout and illustration programs such as Freehand, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, Corel, Illustrator, FrameMaker or Office programs such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Awaken your archive to new life!
10: Interactive scaling
Up to now, groups could be scaled using the dialog. With Version 9, not only groups but also all selected objects without any grouping can be scaled interactively, both freely and proportionally (A). A new sizing handle (B) helps you with interactive proportional scaling. Use an additional key or this new sizing handle to scale not only the object shape but also content such as images or text.
Tabbed Document window (9.5)
Documents are shown as tabbed windows. If you move the mouse over the tab, a tool tip with the complete document path will be shown. You can open the document path directly with the help of the context menu.
10: New Options for editing paths (10.0)
The editing of paths has been completely redeveloped and greatly expanded. For this purpose a new tool and a new palette have been created with which you can convert, delete or add new sizing and control points. Multiple sizing points can be simultaneously selected, aligned, distributed, moved interactively or positioned precisely using dimension specifications.
11: New layout aids
VivaDesigner provides a large number of layout aids such as Guide Lines, Grid, Baseline Grid, Smart Guides and Guide Objects. As from Version 9 you will also have a Document Grid as well as a customizable bleed area.
Color Management (9.5)
The color management function has been extended considerably. With the new rendering methods you can define how colors are interpreted on your screen. With the new option “Color Proof” you can define a color profile for your screen.
11: New Line Options (10.0)
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.
