I also think that this is what is happening:
- LibreOffice interprets the filename as a filename with a proper extension and
therefore does not add the .pdf extension as the software should.
- LibreOffice asks the operating system to start the application associated
with this extension.
- If there is no application associated with this extension or the application
fails to open the file, LibreOffice returns a notification.

The initial issue is that LibreOffice does not add the .pdf extension, because
the software refuses to modify the format. This same behavior is reproduced
when saving the document: LibreOffice does not add .odt when the filename
already has an extension. The question is whether this behavior is intended.
But the error popup would benefit from being more explicit.
