When I posted the question I was talking about that. I am aware that there is no magic setting to get a completely 100% clean conversion from PDF to Epub. If someone did manage to develop such a program they could make a fortune I imagine.
One trick is to print the PDF to a PDF file in lieu of the printer. While printing will lose all intelligence like book marks and live links it will rearrange the text to be in order and make the file more uniform. This can be a major advantage in converting PDF successfully. Many of the PDF files are edited, particularly those made by Adobe. The editing process does not produce a clean document but rather patches it.
