Do you mean in general?
Necessary?
No it's not.
Some people say it is because it's a drag to view pdf on small screens, some people say it works okay, also depending on the ereader of course.
So bottomline :
It's definitely more convenient to have a bigger screen, 8 inch and up.
Some people also depending on pdfs they genererally view might have a higher tolerance in concern of the appearance than others.
If the pdfs haven't been created with the presumption to be viewed on a smaller screen as a 5 or 6" inch device, you will have to zoom and scroll in them.
Or if the ereader supports it use
reflow, which can be either okay or not okay depending on the particular pdf and the capabilties of the ereader.
On the other hand you can use tools to convert pdfs on your PC which I think might be helpful especially when the pdf or your ereader doesnt support reflow too well or not all.

I think you have to be more elaborate with your general approach to questions, I am not sure I know what you exactly want to know
.
A friend of mine has a Blackberry storm.
He uses the software Mobipocketreader on his PC to convert his files to another format (I think .prc) and he a BB version of Mobipocketreader on his cell phone also.
The software on his PC basically changes formats, also pdf files so they become readable on a small screen.
Now, I guess everyone has to decide for his and herself whether reading on small screen is an option.
The BB Storm is 3,25", which seems very small, but at least the epubs my friend reads are pretty fine to his mind.
I dont think he has tried pdf yet and I dont know if the reader software on his cell can display them.
But in general you can convert them on your PC and then they should be okay on your cell, of course depending on if they have images or anything else that might get hard to read after conversion.
You can download Mobipocketreader (or any other free software of course) and see for yourself if the software converts your particular pdfs to your satisfaction.
Bottomline here is, that I doubt that it makes sense to read pdf files on a mobile directly unless your screen is at least 4 or 5" and the reader software you use supports zooming and reflow.
If you want to know more, I think you should look and post (more precisely)
here
