Mark is correct. This is not a CF limitation but a part of Windows, which is probably why you're finding the info on the Adobe site. 32-bit DLLs will not load in a 64-bit process. You can run a 32-bit IIS process on Windows 2008 x64 alongside x64 IIS processes but you will also have to run 32-bit CF as well for the 32-bit IIS process.
