Get the KindleUnpack plugin. Unpack the azw4. That will extract the PDF that's in the azw4 for you, with minimal changes. (Theoretically, zero changes, but the Kindle PDF renderer might work a little bit differently to whatever one you use with the extracted PDF.)

Ok, I will try that. Thanks guys!

EDIT: Using that Kindle Unpack Plugin worked! And it was almost instant haha. Ugh...
