            Bug ID: 134994
           Summary: Possibility to change the size of the page via GUI
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: wzab01 at gmail.com

I often use the LibreOffice Draw to prepare figures and diagrams which are
later included in other documents (e.g., prepared with LaTeX).
That requires adjusting the size of the page to the size of the drawing.
Now it must be done iteratively, which is very inconvenient. Looking at the
rulers I have to estimate the desired page size. Then I have enter the
Format/Properties dialog box, enter the new "User" size of the page, close the
dialog, check if the new size is correct (usually it is not), modify the size
again in the dialog box... Typically the above must be repeated 3 or 4 times.
Other drawing tools, like Inkscape have a special option "Resize page to
content".
A similar tool would be also very useful in LibreOffice Draw.
In case if its implementation is too difficult, it would be nice at least to be
able to adjust the size of the page be dragging its edges, or corners in GUI
(maybe after entering the special "resize page" mode).

Thank you in advance,
With best regards,
Wojtek
