How to convert AZW4 to printable format (not a DRM issue)

I have a DRM-free book in my Calibre library which is in AZW4 format. I can convert it to PDF, EPUB, MOBI, etc. but all the conversions are a bit weird - text is broken up funny, and the images are missing, etc. I'm on an Apple machine and the AZW4 format doesn't seem to have a viewer the way EPUB and MOBI files open. My question is: how do I view/convert the AZW4 file so that I can print the first few pages *correctly* - precisely as they are meant to be seen in the book. Thanks in advance.

The AZW4 format (or Print Replica) is already a PDF, but wrapped in a binary Palm Database wrapper (aka mobi).

You can extract the PDF using KindleUnpack.
