invalid

The "save as..." command is supposed to save the current page.
If you want to save the pdf, use "save link as..." command.

i think i consider this a bug.  If I click on a link I shouldn't see two 
choices one of which is ambiguous.  According to #mozillazine Save As shouldn't 
appear.  <q classs=imo>if we make it appear it should be Save Document As or 
something</q>

For now i'm reopening and sending to UID
the closest i can find are:
bug 62155 change Save As to Save Page As in context menus
bug 67544 "Save As.." should be removed from context menu for image URLs

I would recommend "Save Current As", to stress that it then is the current page
your saving (even though you clicked on a link.
