I do wonder though, even if I were to not convert them but clean them up, optimize them somehow, in order to get the right height/width, i.e. resolution, with decently clear images, that would display better on a recent iPad, could that work better? If so, any idea as to how to go about doing that?

You could try Acrobat Pro or Nitro Pro - both have free limited period trials.
I'm not aware of any free or low cost PDF editors that I'd be prepared to even name, let alone recommend - ie they are all c**p.
If your PDF's are commercial magazines then they may be Secure PDF, i.e. encrypted. In which case Acrobat or Nitro probably wont let you edit them unless you have the encryption key.

I suspect you have a long hope in front of you.
Essentially what your looking for is software that will take a bucket of bytes that represents a magazine and convert it into into another bucket of bytes that represents a paperback novel. That ain't gonna happen soon - in Calibre or anywhere else. Its what some might call NP-Hard and others an Impossible Dream.
