PDF is slightly more complicated because the source input comes from pdftohtml.
But you still need to look at the SOURCE INPUT.
I don't know how many times I need to say this, but calibre's S&R operates on the SOURCE INPUT!
Looking at the converted book in the Editor is worthless, because the book has already been converted and therefore it is no longer the SOURCE INPUT.
Here is a picture, in case it helps....

I did find this wizard, but as I found positive results to be absent from the results it was easier to see what you were doing. What I lack is getting the results and adjusting the regex to get the results I want. It would be useful if regex patterns could be shared easily between users. So if I make or need some insights on a specific problem there's a pattern library I can look at and learn from as well as share my results to.
I'll try the wizard again for my next title. It's wonderful to get my fav pdfs as e-books just as with the books that came also in e-book format from the beginning. Calibre is a useful tool.
