You are a brave soul. Using PDF as a source is challenging to say the least. Although not related to your current problem I would suggest that at some point you may want to read the Sticky post at the top of this forum titled "
Read this before Posting PDF Questions."

Calibre is not a new program and since most of the crash problems that occur with PDFs are related to the library calibre uses, most likely it won't get fixed any time soon. Of course nothing can get fixed if details of the crash aren't reported. If you tell us what the pop-up error states or include the details from the crashed book we might be able to be of more help. To find the details you can click on
jobs in the lower right corner of calibre and then click show details for the job that crashed. I found two bug reports similar to what you describe
here and
here.

After you click OK do the jobs continue? Most books that error out during conversion do not prevent other conversion jobs in the queue from processing.

If simply pressing OK gets the other jobs going again then this sounds like a good idea.
