I don`t think any card supports PDF you can only read txt files or you can convert PDF to jpgs and make them into comic book files and use comic book reader. Have a look on http://moonbooks.net/ he coinverted the online Heroes comics and they where PDF.

A program like Paperless Printer or the like can be used to convert PDF files to a series of JPEGs.  You can then put all them in a folder and use the PictoDS program to convert them to *.cbds files that can be read by Comic Book DS.  If all you need is text, just convert it to .txt format and read it with one of the txt readers for the DS.  I personally use DSReader with a white-text-on-black-background layout, Arial font with standard formatting, but other options include Moonshell, DSOrganize, ReadMore, and DSLibris, among others.
