In the current version of OpenOffice.org 3.2, there is still a problem with selection export to PDF in Draw program — the result pdfs always have page dimension of the drawing (A4 or letter) as its paper size (fig. 1). For printing, this is fine, but annoying if you want, for example, include the graphic in a LaTeX document.

To workaround this problem, change the drawing's page paper to the selection's size in menu Format / Page... then export. The selection's size can be found in the status bar (fig. 2).

P.S. Just one more tip: to export OpenOffice.org Calc chart to PDF, copy it to Draw, then...

Great little hack! Thank you! Can't believe they still haven't solved this problem... For me it's one of the mayor use-cases of Calc...
Thanks, it served me well.. until I found pdfcrop :) See http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/01/25/using-pdfcrop-to-remove-white-margins-ubuntu/

Thanks a lot. really helpful.
Works, but the drawing needs to be in the upper-left corner of the page and and the size of the page needs to add in the margins.
