Exporting to SVG, PDF, & PNG

[jclements]

I saw a request in another application's forum.

Custom toolbars have been created and the Icons included in the toolbars can be SVG, PDF, or PNGs. Exporting to SVG or PNG is not problem, I selected the icon drawn in Xara and exported the selection.

I've never heard of PDFs being used for this before but I thought I'd gave it a try. The PDF export Advanced Options (in the General Tab) has a choice of "Selected Objects"; however, it seems to be ignored and the entire page is export instead. I looked help but couldn't find any specifics for "Selected Objects".


Should "Selected Objects" for PDFs work the way it does for other formats?
Or should I just redefine the page size to match the size of the selection?
