svg -> pdf error when creating pdf
Hi.
Can somebody explain to me why the attached svg file is unsucessfully
converted to pdf?
I get an exception saying that width cannot be negative number..
I have tried using the batik-rasterizer and all other svg files of mine have
been sucesfully converted to pdf!
Thanks for taking the time.
Lars

Strange thing is that the symbol it references seems to be empty..
I added some comments to the useelement and it worked beautifully!
Thanks again Thomas

The SVG document has an error according to the SVG
specification.

The problem element is the use element at line 962.
That element has a negative number for it's 'width'
attribute, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#SVGElementWidthAttribute
The error message is a little misleading due to this
part of the SVG spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#UseElement
See the paragraph under the bullet for:
If the 'use' element references a 'symbol' element.
The element is a little weird since it has a negative
width and height as well as a transform that has negative
scale factors.
