Quick fix? no. The original document structure is so altered, and is so many different ways, by conversion to PDF that there is no simple or universal method for converting from PDF to any format with linear flow( e.g. true ebook formats, convention document formats, ...).

Coping with the problem? The nursery rhymes we learned as children, or should have learned, often provide the necessary help. In this case its "Humpty Dumpty" (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty). In this case, use the following associations:
  • Humpty Dumpty = the original document structure
  • the Great Fall = the original conversion to PDF
  • King's Horses = the various conversion tools
  • King's Men = the good souls here at MR that offer help and advice
