What are you trying to accomplish by this conversion?

Conversion to EPUB via calibre is designed for reflowable books. Using a print replica KPF file as the input is not going to yield good results. In this case the KFX Input plugin will rasterize the PDF into a series of JPEG files with one page of content each. The resulting file won't be much good for anything.

Side note: Although the results should be pretty much the same for a print replica book, Kindle Textbook Creator has been superseded by Kindle Create. Both take a PDF file and produce a print replica KPF file suitable for publishing on Amazon.
