There's a plug-in for OpenOffice and LibreOffice which makes epub files directly from your document. As for making an ebook from a pdf, it depends on the pdf I think, and how you made it (with what software). If you have a tagged file, it should be fine. Calibre (software: www.calibre-ebook.com) does a lot of conversions although some of them are a bit rough-and-ready. Bottom line: there are lots of ways to make an ebook of your document and quite a few of them are free.

You can't make an e-book from a pdf. The pdf formatting is too low level.
Typically you would have a Word (.doc) file and make the pdf, kindle, and
epub file from it, which is how Smashword is set up.
