Correct I need 300 dpi for print. I am aware of the view box option and it does work when passed at the command line. Now while I can revisit each SVG image and try to find the correct settings for each particular images view box, this type of thing is not practical. Some of our documents have upwards of 300 images in them. In addition, I cannot expect engineers using Inkscape to fiddle around with type of thing. So I will have to constantly monitor every SVG added by them. Surely, there must be a way of doing this in an automated fashion. The whole documentation system is docbook, built using ant so I guess it can be done. How can I use the getBBox you mentioned in earlier post? p.s. Many thanks for your response.
