Don't they already have all their modern or reissued works already digitally rendered somehow in PDF or Latex and just need to mark it up into EPUB or convert it with a script?
They may have PDFs of some of their back-titles... maybe. But PDF is a destination document not a source document—conversion to PDF tends to be a one-way street. So unless they kept the source that they built the PDF from, there is no easy, automated, scriptable path from PDF to ePub.
