@davidchavez - as of today**, my #1 process for dealing with PDFs is:
  • open the PDF with Word 2016,
  • use Toxaris's eBook Tools MS Word add-in and a slew of macro's I've created and snagged over the decades to straighten out the text
  • save as DOCX.
  • convert the DOCX to EPUB in one of three ways: calibre conversion, import into the calibre editor, or use the Sigil DOCX Import plugin.

It's worth noting that the eBook Tools add-in can save the Word document as an EPUB.

If I think a PDF would require a lot of effort to shift into EPUB, I don't bother trying.

** 'as of today' - because my process has changed a number of times over the past several years
