I used ePub -> PDF for quite a long time, and I've never had any problems before.

I've noticed a strange behavior, since V3 (see Edit). I found that my pdf had smaller size of text than before, so I tried to modify the output settings. As I saw no changed, I tried to make huge modifications, and nothing happened, I always obtain the same document.

I join 4 files :

my ePub original file (not protected by DRM)
a PDF obtained with my parameters : Font Cambria, size 12 pts - left margin 72pts)
a pdf obtained with parameters dramatically modified : Font BrushScript, size 16 pas, left margin 200 pts.

A screen capture of the parameters.

I have read the topics about What to do before posting a conversion-related topic, and the one about PDF.



Edit : I'm absolutely sure that it happened since I begin to use v3 of Calibre. I didn't load Calibre v3 as it was released but I wait a while. All my pdf converted before 30/06/2017 are correct, and all those after this day are not correct.
You show the conversion options from Preferences
Note
Once used by a book, the BOOK remembers the settings used unless you click the 'Restore Defaults" button on the conversion screen (or tick the box if doing multiple books at the same time), at which time, it will read the CURRENT preferences.
