Bug Description

I generated and uploaded four small PDF books exactly the same way.

No problem with these two books:
https://archive.org/details/MexicoByMotorcycle...In1981 (88 pages)
https://archive.org/details/AlaskaYukonCassiarHighwaysAMelancholy1980Ride (94 pages)

But with these two books the viewer starts on page 2 (i.e. not page 1, thus skipping over the front cover unless one goes backwards one page):
https://archive.org/details/AthensToAmsterdamRescuingAVintageBMWMotorcycleIn1991 (26 pages)
https://archive.org/details/BeijingToShanghaiRidingEasternChinaOnBannedBigBikes (74 pages)

I cannot see any difference between the structure of these four books, except that the slightly longer ones display correctly.
