It has been around for years on PPC devices. Reflow in a big PC screen isn't really needed much.

I use Open Office.org to make PDFs. It supports tagged PDFs. A tagged PDF is nearly double the size of a non-tagged PDF.

Now, it could be OpenOffice's PDF creation software isn't working quite right, but it's all I have to go by since tagged PDFs are rather rare in the wild.
It is a problem with Open Office. Using Adobe Acrobat, Framemaker, and ActiveSync to create tagged pdf's does not increase the size significantly. Activesync, by the way, adds tags after the fact.

So xpdf, an open source program for the viewing of PDFs, isn't "committed" to PDF?



Tried PalmPDF. Useless for reading PDFs unless the PDF is formatted for the Palm. PalmPDF is based on xpdf and, at least the version I tried, did not support reflow.
PalmPDF is based on xpdf and xpdf is the best, perhaps only, support out there that is any good. I think you should download again.
