I see this when exporting to PDF.I compose with Snap to page yet something falls "outside". Wireframe view gives no clue and Print Preview is the same. So item by item I cut and paste objects to another page, test PDF export to search for the offending piece THAT'S ONLY A HAIR OFF. Time, time and more time playing a game.
Just need one guy in the coding chair to change the message to "I Spy on Page # that it contains objects that fall outside the page". Then it becomes fun .. is it the rectangle? No .. is it the image? No ... is it the border line? No .. is it the glow or drop shadow? No ... is the giraffe with sunglasses on?
NO! >>> JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS IF YOU KNOW IT'S THERE!
This message drives me nuts and IMHO is inadequate and nothing more than Draw acknowledging a defect within itself as acceptable. Makes it very difficult for me to upgrade. I'm boycotting upgrades until objects that fall outside the page are identified or shown in some manner. Employers and clients only pay for production, not extravagant puzzle solving.
Thanks all for replying but I don't see that I can upload a file. Anyway, I'll be able to find the offending object myself, I don't need help with this. My main complaint is if CorelDraw *knows* objects fall outside the page, it should not keep it secret. Highlight the objects in Object Manager please.Also, there's a statement, "Details: Any parts of the object that fall outside the page will appear cropped in Acrobat Reader"This does not entirely happen. Maybe the object is unseen but the page size has increased to accommodate the secret unseen object.
So the way I play the I Spy Game is to make a second page. Item by item I cut and paste to the next page, try export to PDF until I get the dialogue bot to appear on the freshly pasted object. Grrrrr.

you can upload the file or use a free storage service, such as WeTransfer, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, etc
How do you feel about macros?
I wrote a small VBA macro to:
1. Tell the number of objects (on printable layers) that are not entirely within the page boundary.
2. Select those objects.
You're welcome to try it if you wish.
