There is no wizard, you have to do it yourself.

Strange, I would expect lim from {R toward infinity} { int from a to R{ 
{f(t) "d"t }}}

Do you want the *.pdf to only show the formula and no white space 
outside the square?

Then you need to define a page in the desired size. Set the page margins 
to 0cm. The pdf-export uses the page size and not the size of the 
selected object.

For to get the square there are several methods:
- You can use the property "Line" of the formula object. You will have 
to tweak the formula property Format > Spacing > Category > Borders to 
get a square.
- You can draw a square in page size and then write the formula in front 
of it.
- In Writer you can use the property "Border" of the page.
- In Writer you can use a frame with its border and put the formula 
inside the frame.

Kind regards
Regina
