Clipping a polyline from a polygon?

I'm looking for an answer that I can't seem to find online. I'm looking to cut out a piece of one feature class using the extent of another feature class as a cookie cutter – I'm looking to cut the extent of of 3 different layer (polygon and polyline) to match the extent of another layer (a raster mosaic). The problem I've found is (I beilive) is that I to use the extent of a polygon (raster mosaiec layer), and I cannot cut the parameters onto a polyline.

"When the Input Features are polygons, the Clip Features must also be polygons.

When the Input Features are lines, the Clip Features can be lines or polygons. When clipping line features with line features, only the coincident lines or line segments are written to the output, as shown in the graphic below."

Any advice on a solution?

create a polygon feature class from the extent of the raster

clip the feature classes using that polygon
