I know this is the utility recommended by several of the tech support team at Carlson but I haven’t used it myself.
HOW TO SAVE AN AUTOCAD DRAWING AS A PDF PDF
If you need to print to PDF but also to other formats such as PNG, JPG and TIF, you may want to take a look at PDF Creator from SourceForge. I currently use Adobe Acrobat but used Win2PDF for years. If you purchase one of their other products, the watermark goes away. Most of these programs have a free version but there’s usually a catch such as a watermark on each PDF that says something like, “This document printed with …”.

If you need to print to PDF, you could save some money and consider other after-market programs such as CutePDF or PDF995 (or many others) that essentially serve the same purpose – installing as a PDF printer into Windows-based programs. Acrobat is a standalone program but it also installs as a virtual printer into Windows-based programs like Carlson, AutoCAD and even Microsoft Windows and Outlook. If you primarily need to create PDF files and don’t mind spending some kinda-big bucks, you can purchase a program such as Adobe Acrobat. So, if you need to print to one of these formats, how can you do it?

This functionality is not included in IntelliCAD and, from what I understand, including it would have significantly increased the price of each license so the developers decided to leave it out and allow users to purchase add-on programs if needed the functionality. If you’ve recently switched from an AutoCAD-based program to Carlson with IntelliCAD, one thing you may miss is having the ability to virtually “plot” your drawings to PDF, DWF, JPG and PNG files instead of to paper.
