We have a forum devoted to conversion tools. I am surprised your research didn't find it. For example one such tool is https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21906 PDFRead. It does a good job. Also check our wiki. There is lots of conversion data and other information for your research.

I believed that particular conversion too to be some sort of text conversion, but that was an assumption based on the output file extension types (which I'm not familiar with any of them).

Edit: Ahh, I missed the italicized part, my bad. "It does this by creating an image out of each page, enhancing the image and then collating the images in a device-specific format."
