| Aug 26, 2021 at 17:36 | comment | added | joojaa | @demklad the reason this probably hasnt been spotted or fixed is that its very unlikely many illustrator users simply wouldnt care, after all if you draw vecrors why would you care about pixel perfect? | |
| Aug 26, 2021 at 17:17 | comment | added | demklad | Yes you are all right, it depends on position of artboard (having decimals) So if I were to make a square on those artboards, like in a perimeter, with a width (stroke?) of 1 pixel (I don't know if this is possible), and black color, I would get JPGs with some sides of the square with a black line and some in white? I was simply playing around, testing the export possibilities and just per chance found out the results weren't the same. It is the first time I use this program. And yes, I find this annoying too :) | |
| Aug 26, 2021 at 16:18 | comment | added | Wolff | @joojaa, you are right. If the origin is in upper left corner of artboard 1 then for example artboard 4 gets wrong dimensions. Also when exported separately. But if I move origin to upper left corner of artboard 4, the dimensions are right. Understandable, but strange way to make it really, but doesn't seem like something we can do anything about. | |

| Aug 26, 2021 at 16:06 | comment | added | pbasdf | @wolff I think you’re right - spacing might be the issue - see this answer to a similar issue. | |
| Aug 26, 2021 at 15:58 | comment | added | Wolff | Btw: I can reproduce the problem easily. I get both 703x703, 704x704, 703x704, 704x703. But not at the same number artboard as you. Could be related to which spacing you choose? | |
| Aug 26, 2021 at 15:54 | comment | added | Wolff | It does puzzle me however, why you need to do this? I mean if you make vector graphics for print (300 ppi hints this) then why export as jpg instead of PDF? And if you make images for web which needs to be a certain size, why not define the artboard size in pixels? | |
| Aug 26, 2021 at 15:51 | comment | added | Wolff | That is annoying. There might be some explanation, but I often encounter these kinds of "rounding errors" in Illustrator. Mostly with objects though. In my experience InDesign has a lot less of this. Don't know if it has a different number of decimals or perhaps convert between units in another way. | |
