Question For new library in 7.0, covers not displaying

I am running 7.0 on a 2022 iMac. My primary library works great. I want to start a separate library so used the Switch/create library menu option and chose a new empty folder for the new library. I then imported a folder (with subfolders) containing 300+ books, all in PDF format.

Calibre filled in metadata correctly from the filenames and all is well except that the Cover Grid view shows only titles and authors. The details pane also does not display any image.

In my previous library, the first page of each PDF was shown as a cover image, and that is crucial for my use case. But with the new library selected, none of the covers/first page thumbnails are shown (see image attached).

Is there some extra step I need to take to generate the cover thumbnails? I have searched through the preferences options and not found anything to do this.
