Now, if I have Amazon convert the same PDF into AZW, it works.

I need to know if there is a workaround, since I have quite a few docments to cover. If it was only several, yes I would use their service and be done with it.
You can search/select a word in your computer with your pdf reader? You can also do it with calibre itself. Open the book you created with the calibre e-reader and try to highlight just a word.

My guess is that those pdfs are made with scanned images and probably amazon ocr them for you.
