Are you using the rpm or the download from Calibre's site? Note that they
do recommend one does not use a distro's version.

I just tried on F19 (using the version downloaded from Cablibre's site) and
it converted without problem.

I'd recommend at least trying with Calibre's own download and see if that
works. Also, for what it's worth, apparently, if you buy an apress book in
any format, you can then download another format. In addition, it seems as
if their pdfs prior to 2010 were password protected. So, if these are
older, and you feel like testing, it might even be worthwhile to download
the pdfs again and see if that works.

All were re-downloaded, but many books never available outside pdf.
They said it wasn't viable, similarly Informit.

It got me curious, so I tried throwing in a quick F20 with the rpm for
calibre. That also successfully re-encoded a pdf, so my (uneducated) guess
is that it has something to do with apress' format.

Did they fix the serious security problems in the upstream-provided
packages? They used to install some exploitable helper program suid
root. The Fedora package (and most other distros') stripped that binary
and made Calibre use a more secure mechanism.
The original bug[1] seems to have the status "Fix Released" but after
reading the discussion on the bug I'd really avoid installing their
packages.
If the Fedora package doesn't work for you let's make it work.

workaround for me, for now:

Fedora never shipped this helper.
We didn't need it, and it was suid and crazy.
