I have a question about converting from a PDF file format.

When opening the PDF File in BD, any headers such as the book title or page number that are on each page of the pdf are mixed in with the paragraphs in the new BD file.

Is there any way to easily correct this or would I be better off using some other program to convert the pdf file then running it through BD for the format.

Thanks for the help anyone who can.
I haven't tried to convert PDFs in BD. I prefer HTML source.

What you might try is using Mobipocket Creator as a first step. Mobi will attempt to rip the PDF to HTML, and use that as the source to build a Mobi file from. Rather than build the Mobi file, you can try feeding the generated HTML to BD for further processing.
