I suggest posting in the Calibre forum. A recent thread that might be of interest is
Regexes to improve pdf to epub conversion. These changes are not in the released version of Calibre yet, but you could ask in that thread if your PDFs will work. A public domain PDF could be posted in that thread, but for other PDFs you would be better off making a ticket at Calibre's web site and attaching it there. It is a grey area, but I typically assume that posting a document for the purposes of bug-fixing is fair use (but choose the most sharable one you have with the problem, and if you have software to extract a few pages from the PDF that is even better).
