Surely if you have access to the source files for the document, you're much better off using those to create your ePub, and not using PDF as an intermediary.
No, I have no access to the source document. I just meant that, since Calibre makes a mess with headings, images, italic/bold and so on, I have to obtain them again preparing a new CSS.
Still no breakthrough discovery, then?
