Typing the file name in. In fact, although I hadn't tried it until you made me think of it, pre-filling the name (with setNameFieldStringValue:) does not work in a sandboxed app. I do not set the options about hidden extensions--I do not want this dialog to be different than the system default. The behavior on 10.8.3 is the same in all cases.
Also, I earlier tried fiddling with the options about hidden extensions, and that made no difference. And I changed my Finder preferences back to default, turning off "show all file extensions", and that made no difference.

This was either on the initial file name pre-filled in the panel, or on entering an extension-less name when the checkbox indicating "isExtensionHidden" was unchecked, or something like that. But my recollection on this is very hazy, sorry.

Using @"com.adobe.pdf" makes no difference.
I guess about the only thing I can do here in order to get the file named in a usable manner (since Apple so wisely ditched _all_ support for "old-fashioned" file types), is to use a delegate, implement panel:validateURL:error:, and force the user to type ".pdf". Ugh.
