VivaDesigner enables fonts to be embedded in the document. In VivaDesigner 8, all the system fonts can also be deactivated. In this way you can ensure that the user can only use the fonts that are embedded in the document.
Deactivate System Fonts
Notes
With notes you can store non-printable information and tips for other users in text and objects. As with change tracking, this option is suited for users who work in a team, or for users who only want to create a report protocol of their work.
New Code options
Create over 30 different bar codes in VivaDesigner without any additional software. The list includes such popular codes as QR Code, Micro QR Code, Data Matrix, EAN, UPC, ISBN, Pharmacode, Code One, Codebar, Databar and many codes from post office companies such as Deutsche Post, Australia Post, Royal Mail, Dutch Post and much more.
New Grayscale View
If you create layouts in color that will later be printed on monochrome, it is often hard to imagine the effect of the layout. With the new option “Grayscale View” you can simulate this effect directly on your screen.
New layer options (9.5)
With version 9.5 you can not only switch complete layers on and off, but also individual objects on these layers.
New PSD & PSB import
Import images in the native PSD format or, for very large images, in PSB format, and use the image layers option to switch individual components on and off.
Layouts with more than 2GB
The limitation of the layout file size to 2 Gigabyte has been removed. This is particularly relevant to the embedding of large amounts of data for images, as you will find in a photo book application.
Native InDesign INDD Import (10.0)
The import of InDesign documents has been significantly improved and adapted to the new functions (new image formats, new path options, etc.). The highlight: We decoded the native InDesign format (.indd). Now you can import not only IDML, but also native InDesign documents in INDD format. This works even if you don’t have an InDesign document.
Furthermore: In the Web Edition you can even drag and drop InDesign documents onto the browser window and open them!
Improved EPS Handling
Working with EPS files has been significantly improved: With the new PostScript Renderer technology, VivaDesigner creates a crisp preview of vector EPS images on all platforms. If the use of embedded previews is deactivated in the Preferences, the sharpness and color rendering of EPS Bitmap images also is frequently improved. With this new technology, EPS images can also be used in a PDF workflow.
Consistent Interface (9.5)
A new design for palettes was established with version 9.0. Now this new design is also available for dialogs.
