My requirement is to convert a PDF to HTML and then to epub. I have tried a number of conversion tool to convert a PDF to HTML but most of them not preserving the format, font, css or images in renderd HTML as we expect.

Is there any best possible way to convert PDF to html where we get expected result.
In a word - No.

A given tool may do a better job on a given PDF than other tools. But unless its a very simple document, you'll always have to do some editing of the output.

I convert quite a lot of PDF's to EPUB. But I'm I not willing to the expend the effort to convert complex PDF's. That is, those have lots of embedded images, diagrams, sidebars, fonts, infographics, equations, tables, etc. It can take days to get something that is only just OK.
