Title Page Plugin

This plugin creates a title page on PDF files submitted to preprint servers. The title page is a page added to the beginning of the PDF file, containing a series of information about the preprint when it is posted.

After the preprint is posted, the title page is updated if the preprint relations are changed. The updating also takes place when the preprint is unposted and posted back again.

The common information obtained for the PDF title page are:

• Relation status
• Publication DOI (if the preprint has been published elsewhere)
• Preprint title
• Preprint authors
• Preprint DOI in current server
• Submitted date
• Posted date

The plugin also adds a new page at the end of the PDF file, containing the server's submission checklist at the moment the preprint is posted first time.
