LibreOffice does not edit PDFs. We filter PDF content onto a Draw document canvas, or individual PDF pages are inserted to any of the LO modules (using two different filter type). 

The Draw module does not "save" to PDF it is not a native ODF document format. Rather we "export" document content to PDF using additional filters. 

Your choices are on the File -> Export... dialog. Then select export format from the drop list.  The File -> Export -> Export directly as PDF by passes the dialog but uses the last PDF configuration applied.

You can also "print" to PDF if your os/DE or an installed program (e.g. ghostscript based) supports.
