Both Preview and PDF Expert across iOS and macOS are doing this. Having used them extensively for other RPG PDFs without issue as far as I can recall, if I had to do a wager, I’d put my money on the PDFs simply not having the imagery. Which for a $50 set of PDFs is not Ideal 😬It's a compatibility problem with certain pdf readers from what I've read. It is not everyone, but it is definitely more than a few people. It happened with a number of Mongoose's products. I've not personally had that problem, so I don't have any more info than that. Sorry.
The file has the images, because most people using most pdf readers are able to see those images. But it's a known issue with certain pdf readers. Why they have problems with some of Mongoose's files, I don't know. Probably something to do with the particular program Mongoose uses on their side not getting along properly with the program you are using.
(Well, I don't know specifically about Project Bayern since I don't have it, but this exact issue with certain IOS PDF readers has been reported with some other Mongoose publications, where other PDF readers did not have a problem).

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has Project Bayern, and the images are working. And given that this has been raised on DTRPG and here, I really wish I could get an official mongoose response.
It’s a little hard to identify the right one of the four books when the covers are white and they don’t have their file name listed in for instance, iBooks.
Again, this is not a problem with any of the other PDFs I have, and I have… many.

Working fine here with Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 and Atril 1.24.0.

Where did you buy them, DTRPG or Mongoose?

I can verify that Adobe Acrobat Reader for macOS does indeed show the cover art. Which while it's 'better' and proves that there is some sort of technical glitch behind it all, it's little help when neither Finder for macOS, nor Files for iOS, nor any of the apps I normally use to index my PDFs (Preview, Books, PDF Expert) can show the covers 😿
Hey everyone,
If you re-download your Bayern, you should find the covers are back!

Unlikely, but any chance that the PDF's can ever be structured similar to ebooks so you can change the text size on the screen and it will re-paginate? I prefer to read at night on a device in darkmode, which is a challenge for these aging eyes with normal PDF's.

Not in Finder or Preview on macOS, or in Files on iOS.

You should give Seth S an affiliate link. His videos seem to do you a lot of marketing.

Out of curiosity, what is the possibility of revamping / updating the corporation rules from Traveller 1e Book 7 Merchant Prince? For that matter, a 2e version of Merchant Prince?
Quite good, but it will not be quick. We currently have an outline for a 'belt mining' supplement that would introduce rules for small corporations. This would naturally lead into a full blown Merchant Prince book.
However, this is likely at least two years away. In the pipeline, but a little way down.
