1. From what I can tell Gimp is implementing a custom pdf creator with
extra functionality specific to Gimp such as creating multi-page pdfs
when multiple images selected.

2. There is nothing stopping applications implementing export to Pdf directly in their menu, and separate bugs should be opened in each application you think should have this. 
@antistress You can't just assume developer will not do this without asking them first.

3. This functionally should not just be removed as its useful for
applications that have not implemented it in there menu, and for those
that have, it allows people to print to postscript and svg.

4. As stated above Print to File allows pdf, ps, and svg file types and
therefore can never be renamed to export to pdf, print to pdf etc.

Therefore I think this bug should be marked invalid and bugs created for
any package you think should have Export to Pdf directly in the menu.

Title:
  Print to file should say "Export as PDF" instead of "Print to File"

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups-pdf

  The new "print to PDF" function Gusty is great, but...

  From a developper point of view, it probably makes sense to talk about "print to PDF" 
  From a developper point of view, it probably makes sense to go to "print" entry in menu to get a PDF file of the current document.

  But from a user point of view, "export in PDF" has nothing to do with
  "print". Printing is getting a sheet of paper out of the printer, and
  not getting another electronic file.

  I suggest to add a different entry in the menu to the "esport in PDF"
  function
