vivePDF 0.3.0 brings offline help, a one-switch offline mode, a two-screen presenter view and Word-style writing tools in Studio documents. Every file still stays on your machine.

Windows 10/11 (64-bit): download vivePDF_0.3.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it, or let vivePDF update itself. The new installer carries LibreOffice, so Office conversions work right after setup without a download. The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" once: click More info -> Run anyway.

Highlights:

  • Help that works offline: F1 shows the shortcuts of the screen you are on (and saves them as a PDF), Help > Help topics explains the main tasks step by step (Shift+F1 opens the topic for the current screen), and Help > What's new lists the highlights of each version
  • Bug reports can carry pictures and sample files in a support package you save yourself; Help > Save support bundle collects diagnostics and logs
  • Offline mode: one switch in Settings > Web turns off every feature that would use the internet: updates, downloads, web search, citation lookups and the leaked-password check
  • Presenter view: the projector shows only the slides while your laptop shows the next page, a timer and speaker notes; single-screen presentations can show the notes too (N)
  • Presentations can insert formulas, shapes, charts, tables and diagrams on the fly, also on the black and white boards, and measure lines show their length there
  • Studio documents learned Word-style writing tools: footnotes, columns and section breaks, find and replace, line spacing, symbols, word count and Markdown export

macOS and Linux builds will follow. Full list of changes: CHANGELOG.md.
