CutePDF was freeware, mine 23 years old works fine.
It renders 1/1 quality.

I guess that at first you need to install .PDF reader like Foxit Reader or similar freeware .
After the installation of such a type of SW you sould see in any application the possibility to save/print in .PDF format .

Hope this help, take care

You may use a pdf printer driver.

I made some experiments: Deactivated my copy of SMath (log out), disabled the PDF Files plugin, restarted SMath.
- PDF not listed any more under "Save As"
- Microsoft Print to PDF throws an error
- PDF 24 printer driver succeeds in producing a PDF (with watermark saying "free version of SMath, no commercial use" )
- PDF Exchange Viewer printer driver succeeds as well, yet comes with it's own ugly watermarks in the free version.

Try Print instead of "Save as"

With the evolution of SMath's EULA, those supplementary plugins created by Andrey are no longer available to Basic accounts (Please take note of the "Locked" icon):

This plugin can still be used, but it is limited to user accounts with Extended Functionality:

It is possible in the last upgrade you made to the SMath Studio; you 'lost' the permissions to use the 「PDF Files Plugin」 if you don't have an activated account.

Solution:
- Upgrade/activate your Smath account to access this plugin.
- Use the "PRINT" command and select a PDF driver (which typically comes installed with your PDF application (e.g., Adobe, Nitro, Bluebeam, etc. )

May this be of Good Help;
