You also can use pdftk. It is a command line utility, but very powerfula and easy to use. What is needed is to create the cover and extra pages in a separate programme as a pdf, and then joing th e two pdf files using pdftk.

see  http://www.accesspdf.com/index.php?topic=pdftk

It is my preferred tool for that type of thing because it is easy and lets me design the cover and frontispiece however I want.

Hi all,

I'm making my first Ebook, and want to have the front cover be part of the
final PDF file. That means it, and a following blank page, has to come
before the title page.

I'd like the cover page to be a graphic. How do I do this?

pdfpages?

I remember this advice from Herbert's previous answers to similar questions.
Notice that I could remember wrong. :-)
