Hi again
I have tried to do as Thomas adviced me to and changed the svg file with units from px to pt.
I am not able to get a printout which gives me the correct outputsize however.
When
i try to print the svg file from Illustrator the rectangle is 11cm ,
however i keep getting 10.5 cm when using either the batik-rasterizer
or my code with transcoding hints.
I have tried to set the PDFTranscoder hints and used both KEY_RESOLUTION and PDFTranscoder.KEY_DEVICE_RESOLUTION, new Float(0.3528f));
Please see the attached fiile. It is the biggest rectangle which should be 11cm according to illustrator.
Sorry to bother you guys with this again..
Could someone let me know if they are able to actually get a printout where the biggest rectangle is 11cm( 4.33070866 inch)

I have had a look at the transcoding hints and i was wondering which one to use to get the output correct
This is the one i have looked at now: PDFTranscoder.KEY_DEVICE_RESOLUTION
I also see that there is something referred to as :PDFTranscoder.KEY_PIXEL_UNIT_TO_MILLIMETER,new Float(0.2645833f)
To mee it looks like the latter is the right one, but i am not entirely sure..
Any help is appreciated.

Actually your SVG document contains a
rectangle that is 311 user
space units, where in your document 311 user space
units are mapped
to 311 _px_ units. Where by default Batik uses
96 px per inch (user
agents are supposed to pick and appropriate px to
real world unit
conversion - 96 is a common px->inch conversion
for SVG UserAgents),
by contrast a pt is defined as 1/72nd of an inch always.

Right 311px/96pxPerIn ~= 3.25in * 72ptPerIn
~= 243pt

To fix this you can either use 'pt' instead
of 'px' units on
your outermost SVG (which seems to make the most sense
to me):
width="311.811pt"
height="311.811pt"
Or you can override Batik's default px to real world mapping
by using the '-dpi' command line option (and/or transcoding
hint):
-dpi 72
