Do you see a downside to this?
The only downside is that depending on the PDF, the quality of the conversion can range anywhere from decent to absolutely horrendous.
Due to the nature of PDF as an output-only format, it can be very difficult to get usable text+layout information from one.

See the sticky in the Calibre ==> Conversion subforum for more details, and good luck.
