To me the current wording in trunk is confusing (caveat: English is not my native language - possibly I miss a grammatical subtlety in the use of the apostrophe (?)):
---
[x] Use document's page size
[ ] Use exported object's size
Limit export to object with ID: [ ___ ]
---
One could easily read this as if "Use exported object's size" only works in combination with "Limit export to object with ID" because both use the singular form "object". The settings however are not connected:
- a single object can be exported either with page size or the object's size,
- with no ID specified, the option "Use exported object's size" (formerly called "Export area is drawing") refers to all objects (plural) in drawing (including those outside the page).
The term 'Drawing' is used elsewhere in Inkscape to describe the same area (e.g. Export Bitmap, Document Properties > Page) - it's not really clear to me why it ought to be changed for PS/EPS and PDF export into referring to a _single_ object.
