Converting PDF to EPub

PDFs are a popular format for eBooks, since it retains the exact look of a printed book. This benefit unfortunately is its major disadvantage, especially when it has to be read on mobile or other devices. As one needs to zoom and pan back and forth in order to read the whole content, which is not a very pleasant reading experience. This is where ePub comes with an advantage of reflowable text , that can be auto adjusted as per the screen size of a device. 

If the file is a novel that is text oriented than the conversion is very simple but when it comes to complex layout full of pictures, tables, graphs and multi column pages a simple conversion can make it look hideous. ePub on the other hand is a stream format which sets content as per screen size. So it is important that one has to understand that it is not possible to retain the original style of the printed book after conversion to ePub format. The reason for applying this format is to make reading easy.
