SVG extracted using `svg-extract` looks different from the original SVG

[amine-aboufirass]

Here's my SVG drawing:

I include it in my LaTeX document using the svg package as follows:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{svg}

\begin{document}
    \includesvg{idea.svg}
\end{document}

Which results in the following:

Then I use the svg-extract package to extract it out into a PDF including the rendered LaTeX math:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[extractformat=pdf]{svg-extract}

\begin{document}
    \includesvg[keepaspectratio]{idea.svg}
\end{document}

I run latexmk --shell-escape idea.tex and the resulting PDF is as follows:

It looks like the text has been moved to accomodate some smaller bounding box than that which the SVG originally intended.

How can I prevent this behavior and get back the SVG as it looked in the original PDF?

As mentioned in the comments, for now latexmk --shell-escape -pdf idea.tex should work. Nevertheless, this would need some investigation at some point.

hi, i have the same problem, and that line also doesn't work for me.

I'm not sure, but i'm guessing svg-extract is importing the same preamble of the main document, while including a svg with svg only make it agnostic to the document preamble ???

The thing i'm seeing is, for instance, when i include a svg with pretex=\footnotesize, in the main document it looks well, but in the svg-extract version of it the text font size is normal. Also, I noticed that the text on the extracted version has double space between lines. And that is how i have formatted the text on my main document. But, in the included svg, the text does not have that huge space between lines.

This kind of error report doesn't work for me. What action should I take without any information. How should I be able to reproduce the issue without a running minimal example?

Well, instead of guessing, having a brief look into the package documentation would maybe be an approach.

In general, graphics extracted with package svg-extract should look the same as those included with package svg as long as you carefully do all your markup settings in the preamble.
