Alternative method via AppStore:
1. PDF extraction based on iText library released under the AGPL license. - ePUBator IS THINKED FOR BOOKS (NOT FOR EVERY TYPE OF PDF), BUT IF YOU NEED A BETTER RESULT TRY SOMETHING ELSE LIKE CALIBRE. - ePUBator doesn't need internet connection (doesn't send your docs somewhere on the net, doesn't have ads). - ePUBator extracts text (no text from pictures or from raster PDF). - ePUBator tries to extract images (only png, jpg and gif) but puts them at the page's end. - ePUBator tries to extract the table of contents if present (or creates a dummy TOC). - ePUBator doesn't extract the font size and style. - ePUBator saves the ePUB file in the same folder of PDF file or in Download folder if PDF folder is not writable or if it is set in Settings. - ePUBator works fine only with single column PDF (worse with multi column or tables). - ePUBator can fail extraction (5 of 358 books with v0. 8. 1 on my Atrix).
2. Move the pdf file in a folder in the internal memory (called sdcard) and try again. Version 0. 12 should fix this problem. ePUBator extract text from a PDF file and put it in a well formed (epubcheck compliant) ePUB file.
3. On some books we can find wrong chars (e. g. Øø instead of éù), it seems a iText's problem (another PDF library extract the same text correctly).
4. WARNING FOR KITKAT USERS: KitKat adds some limitations of access to the external sdcard (called extSdCard on some devices) so ePUBator can't write on it.
5. In the event of crash, unexpected stoppages or insufficient memory try setting Page per file to 1 and/or disable the extraction of images and try again (sometimes helps).
6. I converted a lot of books (italians and some english) with ePUBator, but with someone the conversion can fail (raster PDF, columns, out of order chars).

8. I never try with arabic or asian characters, right to left or vertical writing and I don't know if (and how) the iText library can manage those pdf. I'm sorry.

11. I'm looking for a better one, free and Android compatible.
