any way to remove this PDF transform junk

cybmole · 09-21-2010, 03:02 AM

I have this junk at the start of, and throughout, a few short stories. I guess it's because the book has been converted in & out of PDF - any easy way to get rid of it ? it fills a whole page in its raw form, as there are lots of lines with only 1 or 2 letters per line!

Calibre has the option to remove arbitrary strings defined by regular expressions. You can find this in the "structure detection"- part of the conversion options, it's called header and footer removal.

The string has been varied significantly to discourage easy removal

from conversions done with the Demo version of the program.
Sigil and many S&R passes will get most (and still leave broken-apart paragraphs)
