Hello!

I have trying to convert some of my school books that I purchased on amazon to PDF without any success. Some of the kindle files I'm having trouble with specifically are flash cards. I know it must be possible to convert them because I have a couple PDF versions of the exact same style of cards on a different subject.

The problem: When I convert the files .azw4 files to PDF, they come out distorted and unreadable. I can open them in the calibre "reader" and view them just fine, but I need them PDF form for the sake of putting them in a note-taking application on my Mac. I have tried making many different adjustments after clicking "convert books" without any success. All I want is a PDF version of my input that looks identical to how it looks in the Kindle reader.

Can anyone help with this? Pretty desperate. I see that there is quite a bit of trouble regarding the conversion of PDFs to Kindle, but I can't find anything about what I'm trying to do.
