I presume you have tried Calibre to convert your pdfs to epub. I know it's not great, but better than nothing, and it's free!

Personally I use Abbyy FineReader to OCR the text to a doc file. Which I then edit and save as htm before finally using Calibre to create an epub from that.

Unfortunately not a lightweight or free option.

For conversion to plain text, e- mail the PDF file to pdf2txt@adobe.com
For conversion to HTML, e-mail the file to pdf2html@adobe.com
