Calibre didn't insert anything, it just took what is in your file and converted that information to LRF.

Apparently using said cropping tool the page numbers (and the other junk) are in fact still in the file. Isn't it nice to learn something new?

I've only experimented once or twice using Adobe Acrobat and crop (no buried optimization), but I was successful exporting the cropped PDF to html via Adobe Acrobat and having it leave the headers, footers and junk that wasn't technically either behind. I then converted it using Calibre without a hitch.

Personally I avoid using the PDF format as a source file if at all possible.
