Hi Peer, actually the 18pt/12pt margins isn't something that I cooked up myself, it's what Adobe Illustrator uses as default values when reading in an AI file.

Also another kind of tricky thing is that AI format places the 0,0 origin location as being the lower left point inside the margin while PDF and SVG have the origin at the page corner instead.

It's not really documented well how it works in AI format so any work in this area will likely take some reverse engineering detective work to make it work with AI format and it's not likely to happen anytime soon sorry.

Thanks for thinking about this Michael. Darn AI.
