I changed the issue's summary before my last comment.

You think that it does or doesnt?

I'm assuming if a users goes the File > Export as PDF, then they dont likely
need to see the drop down menu list.

Here is the list of drop down list entries from bug 83392, though the comments
entry would have to wait for bug 77650 to be fixed.

Default Setting (settings found in the pdf options dialog)
Minimal Size (keeps the file size small and suitable for use online)
Standard Size (suitable for publishing)
For Archive (PDF/A-1a)
Hybrid PDF (embeds odf)
With Comments (includes comments)

Please change the issue's summary accordingly.
OTOH, I see no good reason not to add 'more..' in the dialog.

I think so. But than the settings done in the options dialog, should have
influence on the settings presented in the file dialog.

We should have a dedicated button for this (bug 83392).

For users like Benjamin who normally do not access the menu, they will never
discover the pdf export options dialog, but this also gives users like Eve who
know about the options dialog easy access to modify the most useful options
without having to open the options dialog.

This doesnt change with what i'm proposing, as its a drop down menu list in the
dialog similar to the 'version' drop down in the open file dialog.

We can have a menu item for 'default settings' which takes what was previously
set in the pdf export dialog.

Adding a drop down to the dialog doesnt take away from its streamline
behaviour.

Ye is is possible to compare, as both MS and WP have buttons in the dialog for
more advanced pdf export features. MS calls the button 'Options...' and WP
calls it 'Settings...'.

Ah yes.
So it is not possible to do a simple comparison with what other applications
do.
Do those have more advanced options too?

@Jay, not so sure we need or want to do this and that the current behavior is
best. And that to control the configuration of the PDF use the menu entry, to
take defaults (or current configuration) use the Export button.

The Toolbar button is linked to ".uno:ExportDirectToPDF" [1] and gets
description from help as: "Exports the current document directly as PDF. No
settings dialog is shown." [2] It opens an OS or LO native dialog "Export" with
just the "PDF - Portable Document Format (.pdf)" filter.

+SID_DIRECTEXPORTDOCASPDF,6674,.uno:ExportDirectToPDF

While the Menu entry is linked to ".uno:ExportToPDF" no description, that opens
the "PDF Options" dialog for configuration of the export filter, and then on
export sends via the same OS or Native Export dialog with limited droplist.

Intentionally not passing through the dialog, believe we take the configuration
of the last PDF export.

+SID_EXPORTDOCASPDF,6673,.uno:ExportToPDF

Point is, the Toolbar button is "intended" to be streamlined, while the menu
entry is intended to provide full configuration.
