What worked for me:

1. Using calibre, convert from PDF to TXT
2. Open the .txt with notepad, copy the entire thing into microsoft word/open office
3. copy the section you want to delete from the entire thing (ABC Amber Lit converter http:// blablabla)
4. go 'find a replace' in the find bit paste the bit you don't want and just copied, in the 'replace with' section, don't put anything. Hit enter and it will say just replaced however many (I did this for Captain Corelli's Mandolin and got 501 replacements)
5. Copy the entire text and paste it into the original .txt file, and save it over the calibre conversion.
6. go back into calibre and convert from .txt to .mobi. Some of the contents table lost its formatting but as far as I could see that was about it, and well worth getting rid of how annoying that repetitive and distracting message was.

Hope it works for you!
