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.
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.
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.
With the new Rotation tool, image content (A) and objects (B) can be rotated in seconds without changing tools.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
