I remember seeing an OCR program once that would accept pdf files,
so it didn't need to recognize characters, but it still applied
all the OCR layout recognition algorithms to try and detect
the "proper" way to treat the document. I suspect calibre is
doing very limited layout analysis (perhaps none).

I seem to remember seeing libreoffice can import PDFs these
days. I wonder if it is any better at layout? If so, you
could import PDF and export HTML from office.
