The Kindle Previewer is used by the KFX Output plugin to convert EPUB to KPF. It is not involved in converting KPF to KFX. The plugin does that part itself.

I would like to examine some examples of what Amazon is doing when PDFs are sent to a Scribe so that I can improve this plugin to more closely replicate Amazon's conversion process. I would need to have an original PDF along with the resulting file that is delivered to a Scribe when send-to-kindle is used.

The Kindle Previewer has a command line interface that other software can make use of to convert EPUB to KPF. There is nothing equivalent to that in Kindle Create for converting PDF to KPF. It can only be controlled using the GUI.

I assume that you mean the message "The cover could not be set because the page uses an unsupported format". That is something I intend to fix in the next release of the plugin.
