It's worse than that. They're multi-column pdfs. All recipes currently create EPUBs and Calibre can't convert multicolumn (it's on the ToDo list).

I think you'd be better off with an automated website downloader, such as wget (possibly Web2Disk could also do it, but I'm more familiar with wget). You could restrict wget to grabbing the PDF, then use your batch or script to add the unconverted pdf file to Calibre. It should be possible to automate the whole thing, but not via the recipe system. I assume you have a pdf reader available that will read the unmodified files.
