There is on need to change the PDF generation (although some tools make better PDFs than others).
The ADE effort is on the reader side. To reflow a regular PDF document when it is being read. ADE works with any PDF except those that are just a collection of images. (Images cannot be reflowed without OCR and taking them apart, not for the faint of heart.)
The Wiki has a discussion of this subject.

Thanks for the explanation Dale. I haven't had much of a need for PDF, except quick and dirty print>pdf on the Mac and haven't really looked into it very much. I'll check out the Wiki now.
