BUT...if that really worked, commercial firms like mine would do that. And we don't.
To this day, we still use ABBYYFineReader, and "convert" the PDF via scanning & OCR. Now...that's a lot of time, effort and money to spend, if "save as Word" genuinely worked worth a damn.
The cruft underneath that's created, using ANY "save as Word" or one of the ubiquitous websites, that all pretty mjch use Calibre's API, is mind-boggling.
In short, IMHO, there's no "good" way to convert a PDF to ePUB. It's a lot of steps and a lot of work.
