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 :-)
