I almost always want to save each document twice: once as SVG for future editing,
once as PDF to export or share with others.  Every time.  Save both ways.

Title:
  PDF better under "Export" than "Save As"

Status in Inkscape:

Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently the "Save As" dialog lists vector formats
  including PDF, PS and so on, while the "Export" dialog
  supports bitmap formats (PNG, etc?).

  In my typical usage, which I don't imagine is unusual,
  all formats other than SVG would be better considered
  as "Exports".  If I want to make a PDF file I currently
  have to "save as" PDF and then remember to "save as"
  the original SVG file again so that subsequent saves go
  to the right place.

  I think it would improve useability to include bitmap
  and vector formats such as PDF in the "Export" dialog.
   Alternatively, an additional menu entry "Export
  vector..." could be included next to "Export bitmap...".

  Another approach is to have a "save a copy" dialog
  where a different file type can be chosen without
  affecting the filename and format that will be used for
  subsequent normal saves.
