I actually have an action point in the 4.1 feature plan to do this, but it \
is now deferred to 4.2.  It's not a huge amount of work anymore, I just \
haven't had the time.  I also need to post an RFC to the core mailing list \
first to get approval.

The plan is to define a KStandardAction which applications can choose to \
add alongside the Print and Print Preview standard actions.  The code would \
be borrowed from KPrintPreview, which currently prints a flat PDF via \
QPrinter to a temp file and calls the default pdf viewer to display it.  \
The "Export to PDF" action would just call up a KFileDialog instead for the \
user to decide where to save it to.  This would be completely \
cross-platform and would support all the PDF options from Qt.  The print \
dialog would not be displayed, if the user wants to mess with the options \
they can use the standard print action.  More advanced apps could choose to \
implement their own pdf export if they need features unsupported by \
QPrinter such as links and fields.

Feel free to reassign to me :-)
