Typically putting a bigger size PDF to a smaller screen makes the PDF fonts too small to read.
However in the eBook industry has many different targets and the screen size tend to be smaller than the defeacto A4/letter that PDF usally is created for. With ePub and other eBook formats the text is reflowable. The fonts do not shrink they word reflow to maximize the usage of the screen you are reading from.
There is not tool YET that creates ePub. There is a website that turns HTML to ePub.
So you can use MobiCreate or Calibres' PDF2HTML. Both programs create HTML. From the HTML you can create and ePub tool. In the future both programs plan on creating ePub directly from PDF.

We can expect Calibre to output to epub as early as September, but work is still in progress and not to a beta-testing stage yet.
