Hi Joe, Be aware that some illustrator versions ( < CS3?) can drop viewBox's upon export. This may only be true for automated exports via javascript, I don't recall.
If you are looking to add to a command line toolkit for your automated document creation, you might look into using XSLT to modify the w/h values. Xalan is packaged with Batik. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/ On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 9:24 AM, Joe Pairman <joeyp2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 8:15 PM, <thomas.dewe...@kodak.com> wrote: > > Hi Joe, > > > > Joe Pairman <joeyp2...@gmail.com> wrote on 07/21/2010 03:20:49 AM: > > > >> Thanks for the tip, Jonathan.
