I have a book in its entirety just the way I want it. I need to convert this book (pdf) to EPUB, but I can’t get the pdf into Indesign as a whole document so I can push the button and turn it into EPUB format. Any step by step help?

No, that’s not how it is done. Go back to the original design.

InDesign will export an .indd file to EPUB, but it sounds like you are looking for a PDF to EPUB workflow. I googled it and a number of (non-Adobe) utilities popped up.

 

Otherwise, open the original .indd file (the one you used to create the PDF) and  use File > Export > EPUB (Fixed Layout) or EPUB (Reflowable).

You're going to need the original document in order to create an EPUB.
