Description:
3.8.2011: Ilse will try to find out if there is a feasable solution
31.8.22010: Julia Meier and Helga Willer: We have suspended this issue as we think it is not totally relevant and because it seems it cannot be solved at the moment.

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?
