I was referring to what you correspond to in your first option, indeed
how to set the margin in the "Export as PDF" dialog of Openoffice Draw.
However, I just checked, I cant seem to see anything indicating
something like "margin" in that dialog.

Martin, I'm not sure exactly what your question is.
The answer would be Yes if you mean which Draw dialogue such margin
settings might be in.
The answer would be No if you mean which Inkscape dialogue I'm talking
about. Inkscape has Save as PDF, not Export as PDF, and doesn't have
exactly what I suggest.

Exporting a selection with zero margins is very useful - if non-zero
margins are desired, you can add an invisible rectangle of the
desired dimensions and include it in the selection. An alternative
would be to have margin settings in the export dialogue. (These
ideas were inspired by Inkscape.)

I see what you want, but that's impossible to implement in a way
that's useful for many people. Because - what's a narrow margin?
Nobody will probably agree on ideal values for margins, and so you
might, even if something like it were implemented, often end up
with a PDF with margins that are either too wide or too narrow.

Yes, thats probably an option. What I was hoping for was a PDF
where only the selected elements were present, possibly with some
kind of small margin of white space. If I draw a 5cm square and
export it to PDF because i want to include it as a graphics in
LaTeX, its not very likely to find a paper format for exactly that
shape, that's why I'm asking. At the moment, I need to reopen
every drawing in Mac OS X Preview and manually cut/paste the
selection to a new file. Doing it once is ok, but several times
gets inconvenient, so I thought there's a smarter way of doing it.

Dear List
I wonder how I can export a selection from and .odg drawing to
PDF. When I select a number of elements in the drawing, I choose
File->Export as PDF, and in the following Dialog I check
"Selection". However, I always end up with a DIN A4 page with
the selected elements.
Is there anything else required to get only the selected
elements into the PDF?
Thanks for any hints.
Martin

What's the problem? Your selection gets converted to PDF with
otherwise default settings. If you want a different page size,
you may have to copy the selection to a blank document and set
the paper size and any other options to what you want before
exporting.
