Converting A0 size SVG to A0 size pdf
Hi all,
I'm trying to convert an A0 size SVG (1189mm x 841mm) into an
equivalent size pdf. Unfortunatly batik sets the PDF page size to A4.
How can I set the page size to A0 given that Batiks width and height
parameters only take pixel sizes?
I'm not subscribed to the list, so please mail any replys to me
offlist.

Thank you,

There was a mismatch in the units used. This is now fixed in CVS.

Hi Aidan,
You should set the width and height attributes on the outermost
SVG element to the desired width and height.
