I think because after you "save-as" you're working in that form of document. So if I save as Word, the filename is now .doc. If I save as .txt, I'm editing plaintext. But since PDF is output-only and can't be edited, you can't tell the user they are working on a .pdf file. You have to call it exporting or else the user might think they are now editing a pdf.
