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)
Editing Images
Convert images to other image formats and color spaces directly in VivaDesigner without additional image editing, or add other color profiles to existing images. Use these settings to create new images or replace images that have already been placed. Optimize images with automatic cropping or normalize their resolution.
Canto Cumulus DAM / SixOMC DAM
Use the optional add-on module to connect directly from VivaDesigner to Canto Cumulus or SixOMC. Search for images in Canto Cumulus or SixOMC directly in VivaDesigner and place images directly in the layout.
Canto Cumulus DAM
Use the optional add-on module to connect directly to Canto Cumulus from within VivaDesigner. Search for images in Canto Cumulus directly in VivaDesigner and place images directly in the layout.
SixOMC DAM
Use the optional add-on module to connect directly from VivaDesigner to SixOMC. Search directly in VivaDesigner for images in SixOMC and place images directly in the layout.
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.
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.
Fast Object/Image Rotation
With the new Rotation tool, image content (A) and objects (B) can be rotated in seconds without changing tools.
Improved InDesign® Exchange
The import of Adobe® InDesign® IDML documents w.e.f. version CS4 to CC has been further improved. Conversion of older versions than CS4 are available as a service on request. At the same time the export to Adobe® InDesign® (CS4 to CC) has been considerably improved. Thus, depending on the complexity of the documents, a permanent exchange between both programs is possible.
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.
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.
Clipping (Visualize)
You have often asked yourself why an image is not transparent or why an incorrect crop is displayed? To find the answer you must normally open the image in an image editing program. VivaDesigner visualises optionally the clipping path and the Alpha channel.
Clipping (Automatic)
Normally the borders of an image can only be displayed transparent if an Alpha channel or a clipping path exists. VivaDesigner 8 can display images with white or uni-colored borders as transparent automatically (clipping), so that you often save yourself this time-consuming work.
