HarryT is right, I create my PDFs from the raw text (from Project Gutenberg, for example) with pdfLaTeX. This gives me complete control on the final size, look and layout of the PDF, and I still have the posibility to change the text and format if I need/want to. It does not allow "on the fly" reflow or format change, as I have to "recompile" the document everytime, but I like it my way.

Even though I don't use a "PDF printer", it's a bit like that. With paper, one would have the the text in the computer and then print it for reading, with a given font, formatting, etc. With e-paper, instead of printing to paper, I "print" to PDF. Once "printed", I cannot change the PDF, but I can change the source text and "print" it again.
