Re: Line thickness of SVG changes by exporting docx as PDF
Jason Morse Hello Jason, I could solve the issue in my case the following way: I create my SVG figures via Ink-Scape (freeware). But, before I want to place a SVG file into word, I use the option "Object to Path" and save it afterwards as SVG. Like that, i.e., the letter "H" is not anylonger stored as a letter, but by three individual lines. When I place this "converted" SVG file into a word file and export it as PDF it keeps its properties. I hope this helps you!

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.14KViews0likes8CommentsLine thickness of SVG changes by exporting docx as PDF
Dear Community, I observed that the line thicknesses of SVG pictures in a docx document get thicker when exported to PDF. I got the impression that Office 365 (Version 1812) changes the line thickness while exporting to a minimal value. Is there any way to keep the original line thickness of the SVG when exporting the docx file to PDF? As a demonstration for the issue, I created via InkScape a file with different line thicknesses (5mm to 0.01 mm) and exported it as 600-dpi PNG and SVG. Both pictures got imported in a docx file and exported as PDF via "save as" (see attached). It can be clearly seen that by exporting to PDF all thin lines of the SVG below a certain threshold became thicker. What can be done to maintain the original line thickness of the SVG while exporting? Thanks for your support! With best regards, Norbert15KViews0likes13Comments
