Line thickness of SVG changes by exporting docx as PDF
Hello Norbert86! First idea: Try it with adobe illustrator. Did you also tried that converting from SVG to another ps like xps or the PDF creator? I guess, SVG and PDF don`t work together so smoothly...(?)
Greets, Eva.
Thanks for your response.
I would appreciate to find a solution with Word as it is the standard software used in our group (I am sure that other software like Ai or Latex could do the job as well. The aim is to combine the advantage of word and SVG)
Exporting the docx via PDFcreator, PDF24, or Adobe PDF results in converting the SVG to a image format (like PNG) and losing the vector properties.
Hello Norbert, I know that Word stuff also ;) And i think you should get a shareware version with adobe illustrator, only to demonstrate if your task is working with it. I believe it works. Greets, Eva.
I have been having much difficulties with this problem as well.
My Word document has an SVG map with outlined labeling however when exported to PDF the line thicknesses change causing them to looked "blobbed". The line width in Word appears to be ignored.
