Is the graphic a Draw file? I ask, because sometimes the bounding box
of a draw file is much bigger than the space needed to enclose the
objects, or there is a tiny object way outside the wanted area causing
a large bounding box.
The symptoms you are describing are like those when a graphic doesn't
fit the remaining space. The blank with overflow arrow is when the
graphic is too big to fit on a page on its own.
Rectifying a Draw bounding box is usually a case of loading into Draw,
making a trivial change, and re-saving. (The change can be add, then
delete an object.)
