We should have a dedicated button for this (bug 83392).

For users like Benjamin who normally do not access the menu, they will never
discover the pdf export options dialog, but this also gives users like Eve who
know about the options dialog easy access to modify the most useful options
without having to open the options dialog.

This doesnt change with what i'm proposing, as its a drop down menu list in the
dialog similar to the 'version' drop down in the open file dialog.

We can have a menu item for 'default settings' which takes what was previously
set in the pdf export dialog.

Adding a drop down to the dialog doesnt take away from its streamline
behaviour.

Ye is is possible to compare, as both MS and WP have buttons in the dialog for
more advanced pdf export features. MS calls the button 'Options...' and WP
calls it 'Settings...'.
