What is a PDF to EPUB converter?

A PDF to EPUB converter takes a PDF and saves it as an EPUB ebook. People use it to convert a PDF file to EPUB so an ebook reader can reflow the text. This page does that in the browser: you upload an unlocked PDF and download an EPUB. Each page that contains text becomes a chapter. Pictures and the original page layout are left out.
