Why in the world would you want to create PDFs though? PDF is the worst format available for ebook readers. Create a MOBI or even an HTML and you will get reflowable text and a faster page turn experience.
It's not for a generic reader. It's for that specific reader. My one.
I have templates for my iLiad (full-screen and with bottom-bar) and for my PRS-505, and so I end up with no less than 4 different templates, and 4 different PDF for the same book, one for each reader.

Why should I nedd reflowable text at all?
If I ever change reader, I apply another template to my ODT, and generate another PDF.
With the fonts, the latout and the typography I like the best.
