or go buy the epub version of the pdf ???

a 350MB pdf will render s l o w l y on a middling android tablet
even on a fast android tablet , the large PDFs that I have tried e.g. image-heavy game strategy guides, don't handle well and are not a pleasant read, even on a 10 inch device, as they are designed for A4.
some (for musicians) jazz fake books - which contain several hundred page images - also take ages to render when you scroll down fast

what is in THAT 350mB tome ?

ps the simplest quick and dirty pdf convert route i have found is open in adobe reader ( on windows PC) , use "select all" from copy menus
then paste that selection into a new word document.
it usually gets all the text , in a more or less readable form, and sometimes gets images also, depends on the PDF
