Calibre is great for organizing books in any format.

Calibre makes no changes to PDF files when they are added to calibre.

Moving PDF books into calibre causes no alteration to the book.

Why is Calibre doing this to my un-converted docs? How can I stop it? Thanks!

You never say how you are viewing the PDF. The only thing that makes sense is you are using calibre's viewer to view the PDFs. Calibre's viewer is an ePub viewer. Any format other than ePub is given a quick and dirty conversion to a basic epub format then viewed. So your PDF is being converted for viewing.
The solution is not to use the Calibre viewer for PDF files. Go to
Preference - Behavior and
uncheck the box next to PDF in the
Use internal viewer for column. Now when you go to view a PDF book from calibre it will open the PDF in your default PDF viewer and not use calibre's viewer.
Good Reading.
