In theory, yes, but Acrobat has to deliberately
produce reflowable files -- it has to be built in at generation time. That's something that nobody actually does with their PDFs, and something we around here (a fairly sharp bunch of folks, after all) haven't had much success figuring out
how to do, even when we were
trying to do so. I don't know if we ever came up with a PDF file that we were sure
was reflowable to see if the Reader's viewer would reflow it, so for all we know it might very well support reflowable PDFs.
It also occurs to me to wonder why adobe brought out Digital Editions (a totally separate, reflow-friendly format) if they could have just defaulted reflow to be active in standard PDF files ....
