As for converting a technical PDF to ePub in a way that doesn't hugely destroy formatting, I think you're fighting a losing battle there. You'd really need access to the source document to have a chance.

If you had the source file then you could probably create a book in a reflowable format, epub or whatever (chm...) that wasn't too bad, but I doubt you have them.

Perhaps the stuff in this blog post would be helpful to you, however.
