I would guess that the PDF files do not really contain text, but instead images of the pages. Calibre is taking the first image as the cover which is why it appears to be transferring, but is then finding no text to convert. The fact that the PDF files are so large seems to make this assumption extremely likely as a PDF of a novel of 1000 pages would typically be 1MB of less if genuinely stored as text.
