Why assume that the arbitratry page size of the source (Writer, Draw, etc.) is
the size you want the selection exported to PDF at?  

We don't for the other export/save-as formats (not just raster WMF, EMF & SVG). 

Believe the page size attribute for the PDF export filter is incorrectly being
lifted from the source documents page size. Generally OK for PDF export of
fully pages.  But, as with other handling in the UI, when a selection is made
"honor the selection"!  Meaning, the PDF export filter needs a tweak to use the
bounding box containing the selection when one has been made.

With that flexibility, PDF becomes a good "interchange" format allowing one
finished quality graphics (raster/vector) without the overhead and poor support
for Encapsulated Postscript (EPS).
