Description:
The archive aspires to mark archived documents with a link to the summary page for the document in the archive. So far, this has been added manually, but this is quite a lot of work, since the document has to be downloaded, changed and uploaded again.

The Add Cover? package from Mark Muldoon provides an option for adding a cover page to pdf documents with this information (and other metadata information that may or may not be in the document) automatically.

See http://wiki.eprints.org/w/EPrints2/AddCover

Installing this package as it is involves some Latex programming, which I (Hugo) do not know anything about at present. Another option is to use some other tool for automatically making the cover page, but I dont know whether this is a more feasible option. Anyone out there with La Tex? abilities?
