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.
64 Bit support
The new version 9 is available both as a 32 Bit and as a 64 Bit version.
15: Extended gesture support
The new VivaDesigner on Mac OS X supports gestures for zooming in and out of the document, the crop of an image in a picture object, the rotation of selected objects and the rotation of the image crop in the picture object.
Native SVG Import/Export (9.5)
With the new SVG import you can convert SVG files in native objects that you can edit and change. In combination with the SVG export you can even exchange objects and paths with other illustration programs that support this format.
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.
