Thanks theducks and Chaley.
1. As I said, I have tested it on 2 PCs: my new one (where the first page of the PDF does not appear as the cover but rather the one Calibre generates based on the metadata) and another PC, where Calibre was already installed and the first page does appear as the cover in the PDF files.
Both PCs have Calibre version 7.16 installed and both are running Windows 11.
2. I have checked the 3 existing tabs in the Preferences - Add Books option (Read Metadata - Adding Actions - Automatic Adding) and both PCs are the same. Specifically, the option 'Read metadata from file contents rather than file name' that you mentioned is checked.
