It may depend on the PDA OS.  There are different versions of Acrobat 
Reader for PocketPC and PalmOS:

The PC-side component of the Palm version of Reader will do an 
optimization on a PDF before the document is sync'd to the Palm.  I 
haven't messed with putting many PDFs on my TX because of lousy 
performance with anything longer than a couple of pages, but from what I 
recall, the success of this optimization depends on the original PDF 
having been distilled with embedded tags (?).
