I'd like to make a couple of points.
1st - As stated in the
sticky post in this sub-forum, PDF format is the worst choice of source formats to use with Calibre, and conversions can range from decent to quite awful.
2nd - The conversion succeeded in converting your image based pdf to an image based mobi file. For the record most PDFs are text based and the conversion does a fair job in converting these to Mobi.
The bottom line is as Manichean stated garbage in garbage out. The real problem wasn't the tool used to convert the file, the problem was your expectations that somehow Calibre was capable of polishing a turd. As good as Calibre is, you discovered that even calibre isn't capable of that feat.
