PDF Save As dialog in Word with "View PDF" box

Perhaps the most useful option about PDF exporting is the "View PDF after export" 

This checkbox is visible only in the PDF Options dialog, and it would be better to add or move this to the file name selector Save As dialog that is visible after closing the PDF Options dialog.

It may also be very useful if someone uses the "Export Directly as PDF" button. That way it would be possible to change this most useful option at the last stop before finishing the PDF export.

Word has its similar option in the file name selector dialog, along the button to open the PDF Options dialog (also see bug 83392).
