Old articles and other documents that are really nothing more than scanned images that are in PDF format don't reflow at all and are not suitable for a pocket pc. Technical books that include a lot of pictures, diagrams and tables don't translate well to a small screen, but I imagine that would be the case no matter what format it might be in unless there was some custom code in the background to handle such things (I created a PDF and Mobipocket book that included quite a few pictures and used custom coding in both formats to handle the pictures).
But
every book I've read so far on my Pocket PC reflows to fit the screen just fine and I've had a very positive experience reading PDF books on my Pocket PC.
