Beyond the Basics 'Resize to content' issue

    Hi,

    I have imported some PDFs as pages, and want to clip the images on each page, and 'resize to content' under Document Properties. I have had a lot of trouble doing so. For some reason, the image itself ends up with a border around it, and the page size remains. When I export I have the large boundary box around each PNG, as the images are not cropping to the size selected. I have tried different methods of clipping, however it will not work. Have made a short video to demonstrate what is happening. Appreciate some advice.

    I don´t think you´re using Clip the right way here. Maybe this will help:

    Thanks very much, that was really helpful :)

    I have found also that you can use the 'resize to content' button on the toolbar to automatically lock the page edges to the clip size. This appears to be working thanks!

    I don´t have this icon on my masOS 1.3alpha version but found out the  Edit->Resize Page to Selection or its Shortcut (shift+cmd+R) works here.

    Aha that makes sense! I am on 1.2 on Windows 10. I only discovered that button today however great to know the Edit path / shortcut as well thanks :)
