I have to respectfully disagree with that. What you don't seem to understand is that PDF is not meant to jump through hoops. The purpose of PDF is simply a device independent representation of a design at its intended size including exact relative position of text and graphics. PDF as file-format can hardly be blamed for bad looks when viewed on an inapropiate output device (e.g. no color, wrong size, etc). Inapropiate meaning not by your standard, but by the designers standard. You are lucky to have features like margin-cropping or reflow of text in any PDF-viewer.
