I think, lock down what formats you're actually looking to create first. You're saying interactive and an everyday ePub isn't really interactive. You're saying you want every page to be laid out exactly like the PDF, but a regular ePub (or Amazon AZW3) doesn't really have "pages" in a traditional sense. It's a reflowable format used mainly for linear fiction/non-fiction which lend themselves to reflowing for various screen sizes allowing for the user to have some control of font size, margins, line spacing, and more all of which alter what an individual sees on their given screen. Perhaps look into the various fixed formats used by where ever you plan on selling the book? Some of those are a special type of ePub, others are based on PDF.
