I convert PDF to epub from time to time. Sometimes the results aren't good. Other times it works just fine.

One thing to check before you start is the file size of the PDF. If it's half a meg or a meg or even 2 meg it's probably text. If it's 20 or 30 meg or larger it's probably scanned images and it won't convert properly. You'll have to OCR it first and that's a long process.

Most text PDFs will convert to readable epub just fine. Sometimes I do run into problems but more often than not I get good results as long as the PDF is text.
