Help with Calibre

Hi there
Looking for assistance/tips regarding e-book conversion:
- running Calibre 0.7.23 on MacBook Pro; device > iPad + iBooks
- attempted to convert a number of pdf's to epub format ( preferences set accordingly > input=pdf, output=epub; device=iPad
- while some pdf books/articles were converted right, others :

> lost images
> a 250 pages book became over 1000 pages
> table of content displayed one page per item
> footer/header scrambled with text
> forcing table of contents generates lots of pages, one line per page
> maths formulas converted to text, one character per line

To cut it short :

- how to tell which pdf can or cannot be converted to epub?
- what preferences setting to use for input=pdf, output=epub for iBooks , iPad, MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8?

Many thanks
