PDF generated with "Save view" has a large white border

When creating a pdf of the current view, the image is printed on top of a page, but the rest of the page remains empty. Is this the intended behavior? Is there a specific reason for exporting the view as pdf instead of a image format as png?

added usability label

changed title from PDF generated with "Save view" as a large white border to PDF generated with "Save view" has a large white border

The white area is not needed.

But: PDF is the best choice, because vector oriented data like trj or text stays vector oriented, so that scaling for publication has no effect / gives the best results.
