Regular Expressions help needed

Hi I was wondering if someone can help me?

I have over 100 PDF books to convert to mobi files but every one of those has the author, book title and page number on each page of the PDF.

My current process is to manually convert each book to a RTF then do Find/Replace to remove the erroneous details and then manually 'lift' up the text where the removal of those details leaves a gap. I have been told I can use Regular Expressions in Calibre to do this, at least get rid of the author name, book title and page number, but I have no idea how to do it.

I have read the tutorial a few times now but its total gibberish to me, i just don't understand it.

Is it possible for someone to write an expression for me? I would learn much easier with a written example I could understand and copy.

Thanks
