Converting EPUB to PDF using Pandoc
I want to convert my test.epub to PDF format using Pandoc. I tried (given here)
pandoc -f epub -t test.epub -o outfile.pdf
which throws the following error:
cannot produce pdf output from pdf
I also tried the following command
pandoc test.epub -f epub -t latex -s -o my.pdf --latex-engine=xelatex
which throws the following error:
--latex-engine has been removed. Use --pdf-engine instead.
Try pandoc --help for more information.
Then I tried
pandoc test.epub -f epub -t latex -s -o my.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex
which converts the EPUB to PDF format but the final output is not very good. No respect for page break and other stuff. More number of pages than the actual. Any thoughts to convert EPUB to PDF format very efficiently.

You can start with simple document from bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown-demo/bookdown-demo.epub , it converts normally. If you are the author of epub, you can produce many output formats from RMarkdown (bookdown).

Have you tried the latest version of Pandoc, which currently is v2.5?
Have you tried to play with '--epub-chapter-level=...' numbers?
Have you tried to play with '--top-level-division=section' (or ...=part or ...=chapter) for the output?
Have you tried with the LuaLaTeX engine`?
pandoc
-f epub
-t latex
-o my.pdf
--epub-chapter-level=1
--pdf-engine=lualatex
test.epub
Have you tried a non-Pandoc tool like Calibre?
