We don't think you're making up your problem. However, we know that the problem can't have occurred in quite the way you think it did. I've read nearly every post here for more than a year and not one has reported the problem you are seeing. We'd all like to help you, but it's hard to know what happened. It sounds sort of like you did a global pdf->pdf conversion, but you say you didn't.

Can you tell us if you had the automerge option on in Preferences|Adding Books when you added the books? This could have caused Calibre to keep the first copy of each author/title/format it saw. If those first copies were bad, later good copies would not have overwritten them. This also sounds unlikely as the cause, as you seem to be saying that your books are damaged, not that you are seeing bad copies you had previously.

Based on the reported symptoms it still sounds to me like you are viewing the pdfs in the Calibre viewer. That can make good pdfs look bad. I'd review Idolse's step by step procedure to be absolutely certain your pdf's are really damaged.
