Instead of having a separate dialog for saving as pdf, have two choices for file type in the "Save As" dialog.
From the user's perspective, the application seems to treat xoj and pdf as just two kinds of files that it knows about, and it can freely save back and forth between the two. Making the save UI options more concise would reinforce this, as well as more easily allowing for other file types in the future if desired.
In addition to being a usability improvement (IMO), this would also resolve things like this bug report:

Well, i think the difference is, that xoj-files can be reused (whitout loss of information), whereas pdf-export is a one-way-ticket, information get lost here...
