This isn't the case. Mobile Adobe Digital Editions does not rely on what the publisher does to the PDF. It attempts to reflow all PDFs and if it fails it will do so on a page by page basis and this depends on what is on the page and how this is arranged in the PDF. I think what Technical Support is trying to tell you is that there is nothing they can do. Either the PDF reflows or it does not, and if not it is because of the combination of the PDF and the (limited) reflow capabilities of Adobe Digital Editions.
Things that might make reflow fail include: graphics and text on the same page, pages that are themselves images (e.g. scans of a physical book), some multi-column pages, PDF text that isn't in the PDF as words (sometimes individual letters are arranged on the page instead). This is a long list, and there are lots of other things I have left out, but many PDFs do reflow well enough to read. In particular, most fiction ebook PDFs work ok.
