Pixel to Centimeter?

Question

I just want to know if the pixel unit is something that doesn\'t change, and if we can convert from pixels to let\'s say centimeters ?

Answer 1

In Adobe Illustrator CS3 :(, the figure I get is 1 cm = 28.347 pixels. Note I am using an iMac 7. that has a resolution of 102 pixels per inch, 40 ppcm according to the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_displays_by_pixel_density provided by rebo.

I created an Adobe Illustrator CS3 document using javascript to test the value of 1 cm = 28.347 pixels and it matches perfectly.

I know this question is very old but I was trying to find an answer to it and decided to share my findings.
