Thanks, but it does the same thing as all the other PDF converters that I have tried - it inserts the page headers/footers into the text and makes it really annoying to read. I have spent time cleaning up my favourite ebooks that I re-read many times, but for a one-off read it isn't worth it!!
The issue of headers and footers can be completely circumvented if you use Adobe's Acrobat or Nuance PDF converter. Both are excellent but aren't free to use. Just crop the areas you like to convert (the main text, leaving out the headers/footers).

I like Adobe's output better than Nuance's, but the latter is value for money. I couldn't afford Acrobat, so I went for Nuance's product.
