You can write scripts that grab the pdf (using a 3d party program like wget), then converts the book (using Calibre's ebook-convert) then adds it to Calibre, but it's not treated as a news recipe is treated. You would run the script using a scheduler program for your OS. I can even think of ways to trick a recipe into thinking the downloaded converted pdf =>EPUB is the source for a recipe, (similar to the way that a recipe can grab an EPUB, even though it can't grab a PDF) but all of this would be a major hack.
