To be more specific,
untagged PDFs are the worst format for handhelds. This is not the fault of PDFs, or any indication of their worth... it is due to the creators' not setting the "tagging" into the PDF when they create it. This is often a function creators do not know about, and should be advised about when they create PDFs that may be viewed on a PDA.
If you have the ear of someone who creates such PDFs, you should let them know about the tagging function, and ask them to use it. Tagged PDF files tend to be a bit larger than non-tagged PDFs, but as most modern machines can handle the file these days, it's rarely an issue.
