Here is how to convert a PDF to ePub.

1. Use Calibre to convert the PDF to ePub.
2. Use Sigil to edit the resulting ePub.
3. A/B compare the PDF to the ePub (every letter, every space, every punctuation, everything)
4. Edit the ePub to fix the errors.
5. Edit the ePub to fix the formatting.
6. Done!

To do this right takes a lot of work.
