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.
The OP has not acknowledged any of this yet. This is what it takes to convert a PDF > ePub. It's going to be more then just 5 hours applying styles. Also, given that the OP doesn't really know what he is doing, it may take more then 5 hours just applying styles not including the A/B comparing that must be done to do this correctly.
