If you select that and use the gear to find PDF you eventually will come to this section: “By default, PDFs are considered text files and so may be opened and searched along with all other text files. To have PDFs treated as a special file type (they will be ignored for any operation that requires a text file): defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Services:DontTranslatePDFs -bool NO” It is kinda hidden. But from personal experience, I always check out the expert preferences section...some gems in there.
