Evading headers in PDF->EPUB conversion

Some things are just only available in PDF. (boo!)
Calibre does a pretty good job converting basic text PDFs to EPUBs. (yea!)
Except for the freakin' headers/footers. (boo!)

If it was just the author's name over and over... Or the book title over and over.. I could easily do a global replace in the EPUB source and get rid of 'em.
But there always have to be page numbers which makes them all different.
Just eliminating the author/title leaves these numbers strewn through the book.

So I wondered... is there some way to get Calibre to ignore anything it finds in the top (or bottom) inch (or so) of the PDF page?

Or some other approach...

Thanks!
Dave
