Don't get me wrong, PDF is a tricky beast to tame, that's for sure, but like I said, we've spent 4 years converting thousands of PDFs to strict HTML standards for the Government of Canada so I'm definitely qualified to make that statement.
I saw posts on here that say column layouts can't be converted or forget tables, they're impossible to extract. We've been doing these for years now with our software.

Not even Adobe Acrobat Pro can convert PDF without errors. So it is not just a Calibre issue It's the fact that PDF was never designed to be converted to anything else. It was designed so that you could create something in a given program, print it as PDF, send it to someone else who doesn't have the same program and can print it out as you intended.
