It is possible to create macro using VBA programming. What you request is not possible in the PowerPoint by simple command somewhere on toolbar because main purpose of the PowerPoint is elsewhere. If there is no definitive solution, I'll do it for myself and post it here. Possibly, his macro has to be modified "only".
#PDF CROP AND RESIZE HOW TO#
I found How to resize slide dimensions without resizing any objects on the slide? and the answer by JarynPL seems to be promising. However, at each major change of the slide, I have to guess the correct values, which makes this alternative similar to Alternative A. There is also Alternative C, where I use the trim feature of the LaTeX graphicx package. Regarding Alternative B: I have to do the cropping each time, I change the figure If I do a major change, I might have to adjust the borders manually.

Regarding Alternative A: At each minor change of the diagram, I don't have to adjust the slide borders.

Typically, the height is different from the typical height of a powerpoint slide. When using the diagrams in a scientific publication, e.g., with LaTeX, the size of the diagrams are typically not following the usual dimensions of a powerpoint slide, but have dimensions fitting to the paper. Even more complex diagrams with more than 10 shapes are easily possible. Therefore, Powerpoint got more and more the tool of choice for creating diagrams. Especially when handling figures, it even superseeds Microsoft Visio in some cases. How is this possible in powerpoint? Meaning, that the boundingbox of the contained objects is the size of the slide. In Visio, one could crop the page to fit the margins of the contained graphics.

When using the normal slide size, there is some white area around the graphics.
