Just to be clear - adding tags to a PDF doc means that it can be reflowed by an application (yes Openoffice 2.x can add tags to PDF's) -
Note that you don't have to tag documents to reflow them, Acrobat reader (v7) will add temporary virtual tags to a document and reflow it for you ... it is the application that does the reflowing by either reading existing tags or creating virtual tags. How the current PDF reader on the Iliad would handle this would be interesting ... how would it handle page numbering (when you scale down a doc the page numbers are the same, when you reflow it, you have more pages)? It'd have to have a separate manifest file for the reflowed document/save the virtual tags so you could go back to the same place? Also - would it handle PDF's with mixed portrait and landscape pages ...?
My guess is they are not talking about reflow but actual zoom, which will be OK to view the odd embedded graphic - but pretty pointless for ease of reading ...
