You will need to read the relevant part of the Calibre manual to decide which checkboxes to check/uncheck for any particular PDF. There's a link included on the Heuristic page.
Actually I've tried PDF and a few others. None of them is consistent with TOC. I'll look at heuristics again. I didn't see anything there that seemed useful.
