I'm not against this, as the function could be a little more clear what it
does.
However, now the question is what a "direct" export is. After the change the
question will just change to what a "quick" export is.

THIS is a actually a very important information as this is not said anywhere on
or near the button. I also assumed that it was an export with default settings.


As the option for direct export is exposed as UI button in the default UI view,
the button *label* could may be changed to "Export PDF (last settings)”
(target: 4 words max because it's exposed in the tabbed UI)
The *tooltip* could be something longer and may changed to "Export as PDF with
last export settings" ("last settings" vs. "last export settings"?). This would
be a rather long tooltip, but a) that's not something new (see 'Merge and
center') and b) that space is not occupied as 'desktop real estate'.

An example for this could be 'Merge and center' in Calc. Sorta short name under
the UI button with a longer explanation in the tooltip.
IMHO the UI button name should not be longer than 4 words because of the tabbed
UI where the button name is visible and space usage get's worse with every
additional word.
