Thomas (and all), I'm currently tracking down differences between the PDF and PS transcoders. The following thread triggered that: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&by=thread&from=825221
There's an SVG attached to the first post. It's a SVG with width and height specified but without a viewBox. In the EPS transcoder the file showed correctly, at first. At least until I changed the resolution from 96dpi to 300dpi. The PDF transcoder did the whole thing wrong because it's now working at a fixed 72dpi as per your patch: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=106795227230411&w=2 I didn't question that patch back then, but I'm now curious why you think it is necessary to use a fixed resolution. You say it's the default user space of PDFGraphics2D. I'd say there is no resolution in PDF, only the resolution at which some SVG constructs will be rendered as bitmaps when they cannot (yet) be expressed natively. In the EPS transcoder I've managed to make it work at every resolution in the meantime (fixes not committed, yet) by generating the right initial transforms. I believe this can be applied to PDF, too. The limitation to 72dpi in the PDF transcoder has the undesired side effect of outputting embedded images in a very low quality. Removing it improved quality a lot here. But I still have one problem with the above SVG file without viewBox. In the PDF transcoder the images is too big. If I manually put a viewBox="0 0 533 266" into the SVG file then it comes out correctly in PDF. Obviously, the SVG file is made for a 96dpi environment which explains the behaviour. A solution to this problem would be if I could ask Batik to give me the effective (outermost) viewBox even if none is available. Does something like that exist? I didn't find anything. Sorry for the long post. I'm not sure I understood the whole thing completely and I'm hoping you (or someone else) might have some additional ideas. Thanks!
