Error in Converting Kindle ebook

Hello everyone, really hope I can fine some help here. Here goes and hopefully I can provide as much detail as possible.

I bought a textbook for school in a pdf format from Amazon.ca on my computer. Then i opened the textbook on my android tablet and it dah to open with the amazon/kindle app only as it is in a azw4 format.

I downloaded the Calibre and tried converting it to PDF. The very first error that I received was that the book is protected by DRM. After fiddeling aroung and using the DeDRM tools I was able to get rid of the DRM on the book. However when I go to convert from azw4 to PDF now I get a conversion failed error. Unfortunately this error means nothing to me and getting this textbook in a PDF would make school much easier as I can highlight and note things in PDF format.

Here is the error text:
