Is there any way to resize the content to the page except by eyeballing it? And no thank you, I don't mean "Resize Page to Content".

Edit -> Select all in all layers
then adjust the width/height with the W and H boxes, you can lock them together for proportional scaling. You can align Relative to: Page, Treat selection as group, and center if needed, or set X or Y to zero.

Also you could group the content, enable "Snap to Page" and pull around as needed.
That snaps nodes to the page. Is there anyway to snap paths to page?
Hi Shawn!

I guess by "nodes" you mean the corners of the selection rectangle? (Most often nodes designate the points a path is composed of...)
I'm not sure if you can snap to path-nodes but on an default install on the right hand side is a pane to fine-tune the snapping behaviour, you could look there. AFAIR the tooltips for the buttons are pretty self-explanatory.

I'm talking about the nodes of a path. Yes, they snap quite nicely to the borders. But sometimes the path between nodes extends outside of the borders. I was wondering if there was a way to snap these extended paths to the border.

Snapping has a source and a target. Inkscape currently only handles snaps nodes or special points as sources. Targets can be anything, e.g. nodes, points, lines, boundingboxes, pageborders, grids, guides, etc.
Once Inkscape allows lines or paths as a source, then it could snap a path tangentially to the page border (which is what you're looking for if I'm right). Until that time you could consider this workaround: 1) select all objects 2) set the snapping buttons: "enable snapping", "snap bounding box corners", and "snap to page border" should be enabled 3) use the selector tool, and drag the corner handles (while holding ctrl to constrain the aspect ratio) 4) snap the bounding box corners to the page borders

Yes, but it does it the other way around. In the Document Properties dialogue, there is "Resize Page to Content", so I was wondering if I could resize content to the page.
The reason why I'm asking is that I'm drawing avatars. Their maximum size is 100 x 100 pixels. I want to make the avatars as big as possible inside that box. One size does not fit all. Some of them have hats, which means I have to shrink them to fit them in. I was wondering if Inkscape could do this rather than doing it by eyeball.
