Does Solidworks 2008 require a plug-in in order to save as a 3D PDF? I can save it as a PDF, but I do not get the checkbox to save as a 3d file.

If it is possible, there's probably a small check box toward the bottom of the dialog box which states something to the effect of "save 3d info". Just choose "save as" and "pdf" to check it. There is no separate "save as 3D PDF".
I think it was not possible in SOLIDWORKS 2008. But there is a plug-in compatible with SOLIDWORKS 2008 which can do that: http://www.datakit.com/cad-convertors/solidworks-3d-to-pdf-3d/1978-solidworks-3d-to-pdf-3d.html
I don't think they added support for 3D PDF until 2010.
