The prc file can be dragged to Calibre and converted to the format of your choice.

The html and the prc file end up in My Documents\My Publications by default.

It is quick and easy and does what I need while keeping my sanity in tact.
HI everyone!. Ive been going mad over those headers and footers. English is not my first language and i have to work hard to understand all those terms.
I have no idea what a "header regular expression" is, "regex", or how to work out the wand button, although i have tried many times.
Same as everyone, im trying to convert pdf, but in my case is to lrf, the sony ebook format.
I've read what dwanthny said about that Mobipocket Creator, and i think it sounds much easier than removing headers and footers with Calibre.
My questions are: What exactly is to "build an ebook"?, once i create an html with mobipocket from a pdf file, can i just drag that html into Calibre and convert it into an lrf for my sony ebook? or do i have to convert html into a prc first and then to lrf?.
I apologize if my questions are not very clear and i thank you for any help in this!
