The best way I have found is to make sure the ePub output file size is over 10mb, and then convert it from PDF to ePub, and then use the CSS and the 1 HTML file to edit wherever it needs editing (Make sure to remove header and footer). Use Notepad++ to edit out whatever is extra, like some header not being removed, or something should be capital etc.
You will need to learn how the stylesheet.css works and some CSS tags (It's not hard). Then use that HTML with the CSS and convert that to ePub again.
This is the best FREE way I know.
I think Adobe Acrobat can convert PDF to HTML really well, but you will need to pay for it.
