What should I convert my .pdf files to?

so far I've been opening them in acrobat and saving as a .rtf, then importing into caliber then converting to epub.
But it takes 40 minutes to convert a single book.
And the formatting is only ok, not nearly as nice as .lit to .epub


Also I'm stuck with a file that is 5 times larger at least if I want to keep a format other then the .epub
is there an export or save option in acrobat that is more efficient?
Would I be better off using a converter like PDFRead?
or is that more for converting scanned PDF files that are all images?

Would saving to html work better, and should I clean it up after that?
if I save it to HTML should I use 3.32 or 4.0?

Is there anywhere with an indepth explanation of how to use caliber command line? every time I use it I get lost or it does nothing.


Is there anywhere with a good resource for starting to dig into the ebook conversion and so on information?
I've tried searching here but its hard to find things.
