Thx Kacir for the info on CommandLine command.
-----
BTY Cali - I went to that page you suggested already and yes, I'm on Mac.
-----
I'm not sure if I need the Command Line Tools. It says:
Convert an ebook from one format to another.

When they are installed, how do you access Command Line Tools?

Is it then part of the interface once it's installed?
-----
I have a 96 page book in PDF I am looking to put into Kindle. I found out the hard way (my Kindle Pub account) that PDF is garbled. I don't want to convert my book to Word.

I will probably reset my margins (I have some help with that on the Sibelius website) and export my book as a PNG.

I don't think mobipocket is made for Mac and the interface wasn't as clear as Caliber anyways. Even the "Help" manual in Caliber looks sophisticated

My graphics export options on Sibelius are in the attachment. Any ideas which would be the best choice for uploading to Kindle?

As I said, I'm guessing PNG.

Many thx!

I can't tell what section I'm in from what it reads up top left on my screen:
