No, not at all.  Docutils converts reStructuredText into different 
output formats like HTML and LaTeX (which in turn can be converted to 
PDF).  Sphinx extends Docutils by some roles and directives and 
generates things like index pages.

Sphinx/Docutils doesn't convert *into* reStructuredText but *from* 
reStructuredText.
