@Timothy Arceri (t-fridey) : I understand your point but note that the
problem remains that "print to a file" doesn't make sense since printing
involves a paper sheet. Export or Save is understandable, Print isn't

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
