RE: Paper space & Pfd conversion
I also make assys/parts in Mech desktop and I output a 2D file to make the PDF plot file or else I lose the modelspace entities.
No Acrobat:
There is a shareware OttoPDF that may work for U.
Look in this site.

If you don't have a PDF printer there are several websites listed on a previous thread (I can't remember which off the top of my head). You can also get a pdf printer with programs like Adobe Photo Deluxe (cost about $45 USD).
Good luck,

From AuotCAD 2000 and above, you should be able to pick it from within the plot dialog box under plot devices. You can also play with the paper size and resolution. If your having problems plotting from paper space, it could be a hardware problem. Don't do a full preview but a partial preview if you must?.. And then just plot and save to a PDF file.
From R14, you need to configure a new printer using the "system printer" driver. This driver will allow you to select printers installed on your computer.
And the Adobe Acrobat, the full version, is about $500 US dollars.
