Hello all !

As u know, xcode 6 allows now to use PDF Vectors instead PNG files : http://martiancraft.com/blog/2014/09/ve ... es-xcode6/

I created with Inkscape a 29px * 29px file which I try to export into a PDF file, setting DPI at 72.

When I try to import this PDF into xcode, I get a 24px * 24px Image and it is not possible to resize it into xcode.

If I do the same operation with Adobe Illustrator, the PDF File into xcode has the good dimensions : 29px * 29px.

I also tried to convert svg from Inkscape to pdf vector using cloundconvert and I get the same issue.

If I import the SVG file from Inkscape to Illustrator, I get a dimensions issue too.


All my new vectors icons for iOS 8 have been created with Inkscape, how can I resolve this issue to export correct PDF File with the good dimensions ?

When I change DPI settings in PDF export settings dialog box, there is absolutely no change at all and the dimensions are wrong.

I looked at many posts about this dimensions issue (especially Inkscape sizes/DPI@90 vs. Illustrator sizes/DPI@72) but I found no solution for my problem.

Can you help me please ?

Thank you in advance!

If I import the SVG from Inkscape into Illustrator and then, I export into PDF File still using Illustrator, the PDF Vector has good dimensions.

Well, I did an automation script on all of my SVG with Illustrator and I get correct PDFs for xcode.

The problem is solved for me!

Hi.

The export dpi settings only affect the rasterisation of the used filters.
Inkscape works at 90 dpi.
Meaning you will end up with a 29/29 embedded raster part only if you export the 29/29 area at 90 dpi.
If for raster(ised) parts, because vector eobjects sizes should be the same in pixel dimensions.
