If this question is answered elsewhere, I apologize for wasting time. I did look.

I have a number of pdf files with footers (and sometimes headers) like

file://quickbrownfox/(65 of 296)

so the page number counts up to the total.

I've looked at python regular expressions but I can't figure out how to tell Calibre to leave these lines out when I convert to rtf.

Alternately, does anyone know of a way to remove sequential page numbers in a rtf? Then I could remove the parts of the line that stay the same with the extended replace function in TED notepad and the page numbers some other way.

Thanks.
