Reflowable PDF is almost a thing of the past these days. I can remember when PDF files were converted to reflow (a fairly dumb one) simply by send them to a pocketpc and many word processors (I used Framemaker) could generate really nice intelligent reflowable documents. Unfortunately this seems to have fallen out of favor with the advent of ePub and other eBook formats. Adobe PDF can certainly make a reflowable document these days but most people use simple (dumb) conversion techniques.

You might try a program called 7-PDF Maker. It has a free version and does have a checkmark box to build tagged PDF. It is the tagging that allows a PDF to reflow.
