I've been considering buying a full version of Acrobat, but it's not inexpensive.
What I want to do is recreate the PDF documents I have so that the images are displayed in their correct position with regard to the text. This will require resizing the pages to fit the Sony's screen size, and possibly resizing the images also. At this point I don't know that this is possible.

The Acrobat Reader cannot reformat text. Generally it is already formated for the paper.
The approach for PDF's is to print the document to a particular pre-sized paper that is the size needed for Sony use. You use a PDF creation program as the printer device and set it up to use the paper size you want. There are plenty of these kinds of PDF creation tools out there. Some are free. This works with documents like word files and text that is essentially reflowable and can be conformed to the chosen page size. It does not work for documents that are designed for fixed page sizes which is typically the case for PDF's you encounter at work. If you can get the source files then you can do what you want.
