The *BEST* way to convert from PDF to mobi is to get a copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional. With AcrobatPro, you can export from PDF to HTML, DOC, RTF, XML and TXT, among others.
I find that exporting to HTML (3.x w/o CSS), opening the file in Kompozer (a freeware WYSIWYG HTML editor, selecting all text and copy/pasting into Atlantis ($35 RTF/DOC WYSIWYG editor), doing any text editing that may need to be done (some PDF files save 'f' and 'i' or 'f' and 'l' as 'fi' and 'fl' (single characters) or when exported embed page headers and page numbers in the text file-which must be removed), and then save as a DOC file which can be converted to mobi using either BookDesigner or Mobipocket Creator, works best for me.
