A new design for palettes was established with version 9.0. Now this new design is also available for dialogs.
Consistent Interface (9.5)
New Web Edition (10.0)
The new Web Edition makes design in the browser a unique experience. Whether you’re editing one, ten or a hundred document pages, the speed is so fascinating that you won’t notice a difference between a desktop and web version, even at low bandwidths. Depending on your configuration, you can print documents directly to the local printer and drag and drop images directly from the desktop into the layout document.
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.
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.
Fast Image Scaling & Fitting
With the new selection point, picture objects can be scaled without using any additional shortcuts. With a simple click on the Fit symbol, image objects are proportionally filled automatically so that no white space appears.
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.
