Library PDF Issues

So, I was browsing the library this evening, when I saw the PDF of Ignition. The PDF displayed as "blank page, image, image", and then blank pages through the end of the book, except for the last two pages. I checked this on a few different computers, and it works on some, but not on others. Could someone check to make sure the PDF isn't completely broken? Thanks.

I'll include the file I downloaded, it should show you what I mean.

The SM library version looks ok to me, although it does have several blank pages.

Hmmm, I just tried to DL another file from the library and it is completely blank............... :o

That one looks fine to me.. OH GOD THE FEDS ARE BrEaKiNg DOWN MY DOOR

It doesn't even mention Yew (American, English, Chinese, Japanese) as a source of ephedrine....

Using Win10 with Adobe reader, both auto-updated;

when I clicked on the link I got a document with blank - photo - blank - blank........
clicking on the Adobe download icon - all of the pages become visible.

Adobe must have messed up the viewer during a recent update.

When I open the file in a Window from the library I just get blank pages........ After DLing the 'blank' document, it is readable in adobe acrobat......... Headscratch

I have in-browser PDF viewing disabled.

Downloading a different PDF viewer did the trick. I used PDF Viewer for chrome(book). It has worked for everything that was not showing up, but that is hardly an exhaustive sampling. I think it might just be a formatting thing. Maybe stick a note on the library page until this is resolved?
