PDF is a layout based format, usually not ideal for conversion to a free-flowing format, like EPUB.

EPUB has no concept of pages, so I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you be more specific?

There are many past threads here talking about the pitfalls encountered when converting from PDF and how to improve the situation.

The simplest would be to provide an example of the PDF and EPUB to understand the problem.
But in principle, the problem is that I can not generate a EPUB file with a layout close to the PDF.
But the document does not convert complex layout instead.
They are learning booklet.
Thank you for your help

@Topheur - read the sticky in this forum that is entitled "Read this before Posting PDF Questions". It is there for a reason

Remember, one thing you HAVE to do to make sure the conversion is good is to A/B both the PDF and the ePub. You have to check every single character and space or you could miss something and that would mean your ePub has an error that should not be there.

It is quite possible, and gutenberg canada does it, to put tags that allow display in a browser, but which will cause words to be skipped in an actual e-reader. That is why JSWolf is 100% right on with checking everything. You might want to use an actual reader or Sony Reader Library (for PC) to check.
