Converting PDFs

Hello,

When last I delved into organizing my ebooks - which has been longer ago than I care to admit - converting PDF's into other more usable and reflow-able formats such as epub and mobi often ended up with really terrible outputs. I seem to remember hearing about a PDF conversion software (free, I think) that had improved a great deal on the conversion process. In the process of looking for it I found K2PDFOPT (http://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/) which seems to improve PDF's for smaller screens but still doesn't move it over to a reflowable text format.

Does anyone know if there are improvements now in converting directly from PDF to epub/mobi or even using something like K2PDFOPT as a middle ground conversion to then convert to one of the ebook formats? I'd really be interested in learning about this as it would open up more possibilities for my library setup and easier reading on more devices.

Thanks so much in advance!
