Some PDFs can be converted to Word... usually by a tedious copy-and-paste method, as far as I know. (Again, somebody else jump in here, if you know of a better technique or software to do this.) If you get it into Word, then yes, you can create a "tagged" PDF (you need the full version of Adobe Acrobat to create tagged files... I don't believe anyone has added tagging ability to the drivers that come with the standalone reader.

It won't make that much of a difference. Judging by the comments in other threads here, you'll get seriously annoyed at left-to-right scrolling at any screen size!

Mostly, they don't. Which will really suck, if you were hoping to use them for textbooks and the like. Most figures and tables will either be converted into graphics that you'll set in your menu at either full size or fit-to-screen... or, in the case of some tables, tagging will completely mangle them.

Yes, they do. However, Adobe reader is a large app, requiring a lot of processor power and space, and older PDAs may not have the power for it. (That's the reason for so many third-party readers, designed with fewer features to use less processor power and space.) Newer PDAs are mostly okay to run Adobe reader.
