I have a PDF I'm trying to convert to mobi.

At the bottom of each page there's a page number. For example on Page 3 it looks like this:

- 3 -

I believe the PDF was created from a Word doc so the page numbers are not official PDF footers - they're just a part of the text. I tried cropping the PDF to get rid of them but apparently they're still a part of the text because when I convert my cropped PDF, they still appear in the mobi output

What regular expression can I use to remove these page numbers?

Thanks!
