That Sticky post stated relatively clearly "
Unfortunately, due to a bug in the third party library Calibre uses, in many cases ligatures simply aren't supported."
This means you have to look outside of calibre for the answer or simply stop using PDFs for source books.
When the Sticky post suggests using "Mobipocket Creator or Acrobat Professional" for conversion both of these programs can convert PDFs to html. Once in HTML format you can use calibre to convert the html to whichever format you like.

There is no plugin for calibre but there are many programs that allow you to
print to PDF inside your OS or some word processing programs. Sometimes the output of these PDFs are clean of ligatures and can then be converted using calibre.
Personally for the most part I avoid PDF as a source format when at all possible.
