Problem description:

When creating drawings for publications, one typically needs a page size as large as the drawing itself.

Currently, this result is hard to achieve. One needs to work on a standard page size larger than the drawing (e.g. A4). Then the drawing is exported to PDF and finally the PDF is cropped with the pdfcrop utility from the command line.

It would be nice if Libreoffice draw knew how to automatically adjust th page size to the actual elements that are drawn on the page.

Inkscape has a similar functionality that is in fact quite useful. In inkscape this is accessed by Document properties -> Page size -> Resize page to content.

Would be nice if LibO drawing program could get a similar functionality in its Format->Page window.  

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Expected behavior:
