Kindle Scribe and Send to Kindle for PDFs

I've been using Send to Kindle to send my PDFs to my Scribe because Send To Kindle converts the PDFs to a Print Replica KFX and lets me do a lot more things with the file than side-loading a PDF does.

But the problem I have with the Send to Kindle website is that it completely ignored all metadata in the PDF file. So, the file shows up on my Scribe with the filename as the book name.

Then I discovered that if you open a PDF using the Kindle app on my iPad, it asks me for the name of the book and the author, uploads it to Amazon and converts it to Print Replica PDF.

I thought I had a solution here. Then I learned that there is a 50 MB size limit to doing this method. If you want anything bigger than that, you need to use the Send to Kindle website and the book name becomes the filename.

I tried the Send To Kindle app for the Mac, and that converted the book to a KFX file, but not a print replica KFX. Instead, it made it a standard KFX and butchered it.

Is there some way to get a PDF that's greater than 50 MB PDF onto the Scribe as a print-replica KFX and give it some metadata?

I know I can I can pull the KFX off the Kindle, add metadata in Calibre and sideload it. But then the book is not in my cloud library.
