I've found that Mobipocket Creator skips some images (those that are right at the start of a page) when converting pdf files.
I normally use Book Designer, but had problems importing the html files that Mobipocket Creator generates. So what I do is edit the html file with Word, break the external links to images (so that the images are saved inside the document) and after that I import the resulting .doc with BD.
Anyway, not all pdf's are the same. A simple all-text pdf is no problem, as long as there are no special symbols (like greek letters or arrows). When you have images or formulas you have to check carefully the output file for problems.
In some cases it is a best to stick to the pdf format, cropping the borders with a program like soPdf.
