I'll revert. :-) I know I keep nagging about this, but at some point in the future I hope we'll finally have menu section labels. I think the proper way to handle export to various formats is to have a "Keep as" section label, with one or more menu items in the format "<document format> (<extension>)." So, in general I like "Keep as" better than "Keep to" (I think this reads more naturally, and nods to the functinoality of a "save as" operation on other desktops), and I think that spelling out the format is a Good Thing, even if it's a little long in some cases, since it's in the secondary menu anyway. This makes it much nicer for many formats just as "Plain text (TXT)", "Rich Text (RTF)", etc. I think showing the extension in paren is a nice clarifier, and should be used unless it's used within the format string because it's the "canonical" way to refer to that format, , as in "PNG Image", "JPEG Image", perhaps. It sounds like there should be a HIG section on this topic... Anyway, I think "Portable Document Format (PDF)" might be best, myself.
