pdf2epub did all the work for me, I just had to mark the header and footer area as background and then export the document (Save as). However, the resulting epub showed a problem with paragraph detection when page breaks were present. pdf2epub would start a new paragraph on each new page, regardless of punctuation - probably because of the excluded header and footer. If that problem could be fixed, this would be a great solution.
There is a simple solution for this - before using pdf2ePub solution, go to Document > Crop pages (in Acrobat 9) or Tools > Pages > Crop (in Acrobat 10) and crop all pages from top and bottom to eliminate the areas where header or footer appear. After this run Save As > ePub and you will find that the paragraphs across page boundaries are appropriately maintained. Hope this helps.
