calibre-server converts PDF on "Read" on Pi 4

I'm hosting on a headless server on RPi4. When I use the Calibre website 192.168.x.x:8080 and "Read" an EPUB, the experience is perfect.

But, when I "Read" a PDF, it says, "Book is being prepared on the server" for a few seconds before displaying a text version of the book, i.e., as I understand it, converts from PDF to EPUB.

When I host a server on my Windows laptop, the "Read" button opens the PDF in a new tab, which is the desired behavior. How do I replicate this behavior on the server hosted by Pi?

I've tried looking for a solution online and reading some source code. Since the servers on Windows and Linux show different behavior, and I have practically no experience in debugging something like this, I'd like some help. Thanks
