No such thing. (a ePUB-->PDF converter). Not one that works a damn, depending on what you want. If all you want is a PDF, and don't really care what the end product looks like, use Calibre. If your problem is, book reviewers want PDF's, and you do care about what it looks like, you'll have to make it yourself (n.b.: I haven't tried the Prince program in a few years. Jellby knows his stuff, so don't rule it out).
If you're trying to make a PDF for POD, fuhgeddabout any type of automated process. You'll have to make the whole thing from the ground up, and make sure you use a layout program, not Word. Word does many things very, very well; PDF layout for print isn't one of them. Word has a bug/glitch/whatever that prevents it from actually printing to the correct size for a PDF (it will print the page to 8.5" x 11", not, say, 6" x 9"). Then you have to send the resulting PDF to someplace like CS which shrinks or enlarges or ? the resulting mess.
