Before converting I do the OCR with Acrobat Pro.
I have tried Calibre to convert, but it has many weaknesses, for example can not properly delete the header and footer.
(The best would be to find a software, which runs under Ubuntu.)

Any idea?

Thank you!
If you *have* Acrobat Pro, why aren't you doing an 'Export' to either Word's .doc, .html, .rtf or .txt??? And if you're creating scanned images as a first step, have you considered setting up a batch file, in GIMP or Photoshop, to 'trim out' the headers and footers from the scanned page images???
