I've found that the best way to convert PDFs is to open them in your favourite PDF viewer, export the PDF to HTML, then import the HTML to Calibre and convert that to mobi.

Adobe acrobat is best as you can use preflight filters to trim off the page numbers and other stuff which ruins the mobi conversion, as wellas deleting all the pointless pages (publisher info etc). I'll post a detailed tutorial for getting high quality book conversions tomorrow.
