You can export a PDF as one or multiple image files using File>Export To>Image>... This will rasterize the individual pages, and you can then import those pages again, which converts them to a PDF again.

As Bernd suggested, at print time, you can select the "Print as Image" function, which is available after you select the "Advanced" button:

????  What are you “exporting” PDF to and how are you doing this?

 

When you normally save a PDF file that conctains non-raster data, i.e. text and vector data, simply saving the PDF file doesn't do any rasterizing.
