Why is the first page blank on some of the library article PDFs?

Why is the first page blank on some of the library articles (e.g., qualitative sociology)?
It only happens on some journals and not on others. is this a subscription issue? I am using Google Chrome.

Answer

Some browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple's Safari use an internal PDF viewer that is not compatible with all files.

You can disable Chrome's PDF viewer by going to chrome://plugins/ -- Firefox's PDF browser can also be turned off.

Or, look for an option to save the PDF to your device, and use Adobe Acrobat to view that PDF.
