When I export to PDF, I generally use "area is drawing", (that has now been renamed to "exported object's size" but should be "selected object's size" I believe, or in case nothing is selected "drawing size" or something that current users will recognize).
PDF export does not honor current selection (unless somehow this magically got implemented overnight - it's a long-standing feature request). IMHO the recently change of the label is misleading:
Old:
[ ] Export area is drawing
New:
[ ] Use exported object's size
Neither does Inkscape support to export to PDF by selection, nor is that export area option limited to the one right below:
Limit export to the object with ID: ___
