Well.... it depends....
If you want the resulting epub be _perfect_ and look like a professionally made ebook, then yes, it can be very much work to make it so.
But, if your purpose it to read the pdf, and it doesn't have to be perfect, then it is usually good enough. It's typically large tables that needs manual work to be readable.
Please note that I didn't write "buy an ocr-program", I wrote a very specific one. Finereader is, in my experience, way above any alternative and does ocr really well and keep most of the formatting as well.
