Making the 2nd Page of a PDF Doc the Cover

I am using Calibre to catalog PDF documents (Mostly magazines and Tech docs). Some PDF's the first page are blank and the cover is on the 2nd page. Is there a way to make the 2nd page the cover....or do I have to go manually and edit each PDF ?

Perhaps a tool such as: PDF Area: Image Extractor Free could be hooked up with calibre via the Job Spy plugin:

Or the Open With plugin.
