Keep in mind that normal ePubs, "fixed layout" ePubs excepted, do not have any concept of "pages" and PDF
requires a page specification. There is absolutely no way that any application can automagically read your mind and create a page specification that matches your expectations.
There are two broad classes of methods to produce PDFs from ePubs. One is to use a conversion tool like those already mentioned, along with many others. These can yield PDFs with separate test and images, but require manual input to select page size, margins, text size, ... .
The other method is to open the ePub in an ebook reader application that haa a print function and select a PDF virtual printer as your printer. The current Win10 has a default virtual printer and 3rd party virtual printers have been available for ages. The macOS also have a built in service to do the same though it is a separate button in the print dialog rather than a listed printer. These generally produce PDFs with images for each page rather than "live" text.
