Different page sizes

Postby Quise » Tue Nov 06, 2012 7:11 am

Hello,

I've get confused by Inkscape and Illustrator now. After i created my work in inkscape i saved it as svg and opened in illuustrator to check file correction and now i get suprised.

A4 format file which i create in inkscape after opening in illustrator get strange page size

Inkscape Illustrator
210 mm = 265 mm
297 mm = 371,25 mm

And the same thing happened when i created file in illustrator and opening in inkscape.

Illustrator Inkscape
210 mm = 168 mm
297 mm = 237,6 mm


What kind of magic is it? Can someone please explain to me why these things happen?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what your trying to describe with your notations.
Can you please describe your problem in more detail?

I think it's because Inkscape and Illustrator use 2 different native resolutions. I can't really explain what that means (which is why I've never replied), but that's the answer to your problem.
