I suggest using calibre to convert pdf to mobi. I find PDF to be annoying on the Kindle.
Although, some header/footer stuff might show up in the text, it's generally easily ignored.
Similarly, there are ways to tell calibre to remove it, but you have to create regular expressions that match the given document's header/footer text.
That said, emailing it via amazon and spending $0.10 might be the easiest solution. I haven't tried this yet - does Amazon do a good job converting the PDF for the kindle?
