I notice you didn't mention doing OCR (optical character recognition) on your PDF's. If you didn't, you have an image file, not text that can be converted using Calibre, which might explain the "never works" comment.

If your friend wrote her book in a word processing program, working from that file would be far less labor-intensive and more accurate than scanning and OCRing a print version.
