PDFTranscoder & Paper size
Hello,
I'm using PDFTranscoder to convert an svg to pdf, everything is working
fine, but I'm having trouble with setting the correct paper size. I set my
paper size of (8.5 x 11 in.) with the following code:
pdfTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_WIDTH,
(float)pageFormat.getWidth());
pdfTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_HEIGHT,
(float)pageFormat.getHeight());
which gives me a paper size of 8.25 x 6.38 in. I also tried:
pdfTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_WIDTH,
(float)pageFormat.getImageableWidth());
pdfTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_HEIGHT,
(float)pageFormat.getImageableHeight());
which gives me a paper size of 6.75 x 4.88 in. Any help with this is much
appreciated. Thanks.
vyang

Hello Thomas,
What I meant by paper size is what size of paper you are going to use to
print on (ie 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17 etc). Basically I have a page setup where
the user can set/select paper size. Now I would pass the paper size to the
transcoder so that when the svg is converted to pdf, pdf would show as it
being/placed on say 8.5 x 11 paper. When I use 8.5 x 11 size the resultant
pdf shows a paper size of 8.25 x 6.38.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'paper size', does the
printer cut the paper for you? :)
Anyway I think the above is caused by the fact that your
document has a aspect ratio of ~5 by 4. The SVG PDF transcoder
generally outputs the actual document size, if you need the
document placed in an otherwise blank page the simplest route
might be to place the SVG document in an FO document and render
it with FOP.
