Unfortunately, as far as I know, there are no such easy tools or procedures. Even with ABBYY FineReader and a very clean pdf file (with no other languages, good scan, perfect letters for example), there are a lot of things to check out.

Moreover, I think a direct export to epub format, is risky (at least!). I'd prefer to clean up the text with a familiar editor (Writer, Word or AWP) and then export this file to epub format. (With Word 2007 and up you can use the tools created by Toxaris).

Anyway, have you tried with ABBYY if you possess this particular software? With it you can do what you want (book scan in pdf format to epub), but generally the file does not pass epubcheck.
