[GUI Plugin] PDF Cover

What
This plugin inserts your Calibre cover as the first page of the book's PDF.

Why
Most ereader software uses the first page of the PDF as the de facto cover. Many PDFs, such as public domain books from Internet Archive or Google Books, have first pages that are poorly suited for that purpose.

How
It uses pypdf to insert your cover file, so pypdf is a bundled dependency. It also adds a flag to the PDF metadata, so if you change the cover later, it replaces the first page instead of inserting another one.

Where
Download the plugin below. Contribute on GitHub. There is also a more detailed readme there.

When
As of 2024.02.05, the current version is 0.1.0, an alpha release. This is also my first Calibre plugin. Use with caution.
