Comment 3 for bug 1396033

Reported issue is caused by the translation (via transform attribute) of the object's parent layer due to changing the page height at some point from A4 Portrait to A5 Landscape. This transformation is not correctly taken into consideration when exporting an object per id to cairo-based export formats (PDF|PS|EPS). This issue is already tracked in
* Bug #743987 “export-id with export-pdf/export-eps/export-ps wrong bbox”
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/743987

Switching the page format of the test case attached here to A4 Portrait basically reverts the translate() transformation of the layer group to identity (no offset), which allows to export the object per id to PDF as expected.
