Hi!
When I use fop to directly print a document containing an svg image, the
image is produced w/ correct size on paper. However, if I produce pdf and
then print it w/ adobe acrobat reader, the image is sligtly (ratio about
14/15) smaller than the original. This is significant as I have to produce
documents containing drawings with exact scale.
The fop faq has a section about there being differences in print and pdf
output, but it only talks about fonts, line heights and such, but nothing
about picture sizes.
Anyhow, it seems to most likely be an acrobat reader issue, since
ghostview measures the image size correctly and it prints the rights size.
Is this an actual acrobat reader bug or am I doing something wrong when
generating the pdf?
BTW, I recalled a long time ago having used measuring tools in acrobat
reader to measure sizes of things in a document in centimeters. Enabling
the toolbar failed - Tools -> Customize Toolbar dialog contains "Measuring
Toolbar", but it is marked w/ an asterix meaning "Only available when
document rights are enabled". Can I grant these rights when generating the
pdf from fop?
If necessary, I can post the fo and svg files in question (quite minimal
- the document only contains the single svg image).
Environment:
fop 0.95
java 1.5.0_15
win xp sp 2
adobe reader 8.1.3
Fop was invoked w/ no special options:
fop.bat -fo test2.fo -pdf test2.pdf
fop.bat -fo test2.fo -print
