Well, none of the Kindles recognize Adobe PDF bookmarks. So, at this point I would say no. Unless there is a patch of some kind in Calibre that takes the PDF bookmarks and makes them into a new kind of data that the Kindle can read.

Unfortunately, the only way I can think to make a PDF really Kindle compatible (with bookmarks and other goodies), would be to OCR the thing, and then copy the text into HTML and then convert from there.

It would suck, but I know of no shortcuts. And, if anyone does know of one, I'd love to hear about it.
