[Solved] Drawing much larger in PDF than in Draw

I'm having a little yet very annoying problem. I have an ODG file that when exported to PDF it renders much larger (dimensionally) than it shows in LibreOffice Draw (checked with the Fit Width display option). I suspect some off-page elements, but I've increased the page size to ridiculous amounts, I've used Ctrl-A to select all (and even deleted it) and the problem persists. Any other strategies to troubleshoot this?

Can you upload the file? To do that, click Post Reply and look for the Attachments tab just below the box where you type a response.

It figures, just as I posted, the problem seems to only show in SumatraPDF viewer and not in web-browsers. I'll keep looking for the cause but it may not be an LOD problem. I attached the files in case you want to have a look anyway.

I'll mark this as solved, it doesn't seem to be LOD, it's rendering fine in Acrobat too.... Thanks for looking into it and sorry for not doing a better troubleshooting process on my end.

User error. It took me two hours to realize this, my PDF viewer was set to book view which renders side-by-side pages (which when set to fit width allows padding for a second page even if that page does not exist).
