I am using a different paid-for pdf to epub app now , purely because it has a user friendly crop option & calibre doesn't. it is much easier to crop a header then to regex it out of existence.

someone else has just posted a link to PDFscissors. which looks to be a freeware pdf cropper designed for removing headers & footers from ebooks.

a crop function built into calibre would be very useful - - not a geeky command line with data input' but a simple page image + drag top & bottom cut off point tool - just like this one in fact:
