You might want to read the sticky posts at the top of this forum for more info. It is true that you can use regex to remove these annoyances during conversion, personally I take any of the following steps to remove these items.

1. I find a different source that doesn't have this junk in it to begin with. Unless the file is perfect I avoid PDF files as a source file.
2. If I must use a PDF file with these headers I use Adobe Acrobat software to crop out the header the export the file as html.
3. After converting to ePub use Sigil's (ePub editor) find and replace feature in code view to remove the offending junk.

Good Luck.
