As far as an end user is concerned , the export option has nothing to do with 
print. 
So , it is wrongly placed in the "Print..." dialogue , and , less chances of 
discovering this option.

Ideally , These options should not be hidden away inside "Print..." menu item.
The best solution is to move all the Export options available via the Print 
dialogue , to Export's own dialogue window.

So we'd end up with:
----
 Export as...
 Print Setup...
 Print Preview
 Print...
----

The "Export as..." should lead to a dialogue window which has options to
choose the format of the export and the location [options available at
present when user selects Print to file]

Can this split be done in gtk print/CUPS? or which ever package controls
the print dialogue... That would fix this in most of the Apps , rather
than patching apps individually.

But,there are certain apps which already have the "Export as..." option
[OOo.org], so for these apps the above option should not be displayed ,
and rather let the app display its own

Print to file should say "Export to PDF" instead of "Print to PDF"
