There is nothing Kobo-specific to find.
There are three types of people:
- People who know nothing about Kobos, and a lot about PDF.
- People who know a lot about Kobos, and a lot about PDF.
- People who know a lot about Kobos, and nothing about PDF.
4. Irrelevant people who know nothing about either one.
You want to attract the attention of #1 & #2.
Instead you posted where you could attract #2 & #3.
The existence of #2 is a matter of sheer coincidence, and that coincidence is the only reason you got any answers at all.*
"hoped that by posting in a subforum for developers i could yield more complex but better results" -- that is what I call
spam.
This subforum is devoted to hacking the hardware and software of Kobo devices, there is no overlap with PDF processing at all.
The internet is filled with technical forums for very complex and obscure fields, most of which have nothing to do with PDF, and most of which aren't interested in PDF questions cluttering up the place.
tl;dr
The proper place to ask questions about PDF is in the calibre conversion subforum, or the PDF subforum.
This is for your sake, so you are more likely to get answers.

i recall, when using a friend' kindle for a month, that amazon have their own PDF conversion tool, that you can use when sending to kindle via e-mail. i was thinking you could setup a jailbroken kindle, and then convert them to .EPUB, if .AZW to .EPUB is an easier conversion ? and then you could even set up a website that allows others to use this method.
but honestly i didn't even test out the conversion from .PDF enough on the kindle, and have never tested .AZW to .EPUB, to vouch whether it's worthwhile, but it'd be nice to have amazon do the work instead 
though maybe that would also be calibre underneath !

And now you are asking in the Kobo subforum about using Amazon's Send-to-Kindle service.
* -- Well, I know nothing about Kobos but I still saw this thread simply because I don't have the subforum ignored.
