I experimented with Open Office, but actually I tagged mine with Framemaker. The file is approximately double the size of the untagged. Open Office gave similar results, but its output didn't reflow on my old PDA (though tests by others reported that it worked on their newer ones).

The difference in appearance on a large screen is because I modified the source file for the tagged PDF with a font that I thought looked better on a small screen. And I took out the headers and page numbers, etc. I did have a problem with the tagged file wanting to take out vertical spacing.
