[Inkscape-user] command-line export SVG with area-drawing: Workaround via PDF, but exported area is wrong!

Hi,

i have to export an Adobe-Illustrator (AI) file to SVG with export option "export-area-drawing". I know this option is not available on SVG-Files jet.

So i tried a workaround.... I exorted the AI file as PDF with area-drawing and then to SVG. This works fine, but....... the exported area in the pdf file is wrong.... the image is truncated... 2 px from image top are repeated at the bottom....

So, the easiest way to solve my problem would be to use "export-area-drawing" on SVG files. but the roadmap doesnt say whether this option is possible in the future....or does it?
