The trouble is that even "text" PDFs don't actually contain text - they just contain a sequence of drawing instructions. Calibre tends to lose a great deal of formatting information when converting such PDFs. This may not matter, of course, but a good OCR program like Abbyy FineReader will almost always do a better job (at a price, of course!).
