Answers.Text: Thanks a lot! You're right, I think I have to rephrase the question to: "how can I find Kindle locations in a PDF with the same text? That is, how many characters or words are one location number?" This link http://booksprung.com/how-long-is-a-location-in-a-kindle-ebook says it's supposed to be 150 chars + html tags. This makes it impossible to predict with certainty, and from some tests I ran it seems to be a bad predictor. Maybe it's not possible after all, even though it should be simple

ThreadText: # How to convert Kindle format (.mobi or .azw) with annotations to PDF?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-09-06)
  
  I'm looking for a way to convert a Kindle book, with several annotations in it, to PDF format, so that my annotations are also saved in the PDF file.
  
  Converting from .mobi or .azw to PDF seems pretty easy with Calibre, but is it possible to retain the annotations as well?
  
  *EDIT*: How can I find Kindle locations in a PDF with the same text of the Kindle file? That is, how many characters or words are one location number? If this can be answered, I might be able to write a script to pass the annotations to the PDF file.
  
  Thanks!
