Convert PDF to docx. Adobe will do this online for free.
Open docx in Word and check it over.
Save as html.
Add the html file to Calibre. It will show as a zip file.
Convert from zip to epub.

I used a small file (2 short stories) that had chapter title images and a colored "sign up here" banner. The TOC also became inline instead of the usual view. I think that had to do with a setting, though.

Let me know if it works for a more complicated book!
Is it any better than opening the PDF in Word, saving as DOCX, and getting calibre to convert that to EPUB.

That's how I convert 10-20 PDF publications a week - many of which contain graphs and tables.

The attached image shows a PDF and an EPUB side by side.
