PDF export size
I use Inkscape (0.92.0_6+quartz from MacPorts on macOS 10.12.5) to edit vector drawings and for a long time I'd export them to PNG at the proper sizes for use in Xcode. When I found out that Xcode supports using PDF files that it renders at the correct size at build time, I started using that feature whenever possible. My display and page size units are all pixels. I find however that when Xcode reads my exported PDFs it consistently reports 75% of the size (in pixels) used in Inkscape. Changing the dpi in the PDF export dialog doesn't seem to affect anything.
It seems that the issue, whether it's a bug or a setting I'm missing, is on Inkscape's side, since Illustrator reports the same size as Xcode. Also, saving the Inkscape drawing as SVG, then opening it in Illustrator, exporting as PDF and opening that in Inkscape results in Inkscape's reporting 133.33% of the size.
[Edited after first reply to add:] I tried exporting the PDF from LibreOffice Draw instead and in regards to document size the behaviour is similar to Illustrator: correct size reported by Xcode and 133.33% by Inkscape.
Is there any way of working around this short of actually resizing my drawings?
