When I save a Mathematica notebook using the front-end Save dialog, I can specify the format:

However, the documentation for the NotebookSave command indicates only that

NotebookSave[notebook, "file"] saves the notebook in the specified file

Is there a way to specify the format when using NotebookSave, like I can when using the visual save dialog? I use Mathematica 9.

NotebookSave saves a Mathematica notebook as is, without converting it to other formats.

To convert to other formats, such as PDF, use Export. Example:

nb = Notebooks[][[1]]
Export["~/Desktop/nb.pdf", nb]
