Not sure what you are referring to here. PDF can be reflowed in an interoperable manner via Tagged PDF, but thus far few applications leverage Tagged PDF for reflow purposes.

So far as I am aware Adobe Acrobat does not yet have a reflow feature based on Tagged PDF. :-( VIP Reader does use tags to perform its reflow, however. :-)
