Problems converting to PDF

Hello, I would like to know which relative units uses the Rasterizer
package in order to convert svg to pdf. 

Converting the svg to pdf I realize that the dimensions are reduced in a
small percentage.

 

For example, if I have the next code in a SVG file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<svg version="1.1" width="297mm" height="210mm" id="InformeCDA"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

  <rect width="60mm" height="25mm" x="75mm" y="75mm" stroke="black"
stroke-width="2" id="V1" />

</svg>

 

When I convert the SVG to PDF and I print the PDF, the rectangle width
is 58 mm and should be 60mm. 

I need the measurement to be exact when the page is printed.

 

Can anybody help me?

 

Thanks.

Such small deviations usually indicate that you've ticked the setting in
Acrobat's print dialog that scales the page.

I use FOP to generate PDF from SVG, and it works fine.

I didn't put any unit, but set the resolution in FOP, like 72dpi.
