I think I understand this function, but not so much the purpose of it.<br><br>Trying to think about some scenarios where this functionality would be purposeful.<br>(if you have some I am not aware of, please let me know)<br>
<br>1. to have a glance on the final work without the unwanted &#39;leftovers&#39;. InDesign has a nice &#39;print view&#39; quasi-mode, like Joshua mentioned. One keystroke (W) hides 
all the guides, hides everything outside the page, shows only what will be printed. Click W again, you&#39;re back &#39;in the workshop&#39;. Is something like that what you had in mind?<br>
2. a quick finalizing cleanup. In that case, a selection script would maybe be more appropriate, I think.<br><br>In both cases, I have a feeling that a function like that would not be a good candidate for a &#39;tool&#39;.<br>
Moreover, If I have understood correctly the discussion above, I have some practical questions:<br><br>About the page resizing...<br>What would be the practical purpose of having a page scaled to fit the graphics? (why not the other way around?)<br>
How is a resulting page used in the workflow? (it would be a non-standard page in most cases, right?)<br>How would we define the parameters for the generated page? (would there be bleed, inset, outset, margins, ...?)<br><br>
About the cropping...<br>The need for this aspect is clearer to me. Especially if it allows the user to use any of the path editing/creating tools to define the crop.<br>Is there a way to achieve the same purpose without being destructive? (the artists often go back and forth in their workflow)<br>
