Thanks,

I have implemented it using merge, but unfortunately that almost
doubles my processing time :-(

The steps my app takes:

1. I take a PDF of almost 2000 pages and add a footer to each page.
This takes about 12 seconds.
2. I then create a PDF which has my single cover page.
3. I merge the two PDFs together. This takes an additional 10 seconds.

I guess that if we had the ability to insert a page then it would be
much faster than a merge?

Yes, I'd guess that too.

Another possibility would be to add all PDPage elements to a new PDDocument and save that one. However you would also have to handle meta data and outlines and who knows what else.

Hey there,

I want to add a cover page to a PDF, i.e. add a new *first* page to an
existing PDF.

I managed this with 1.8.0 by manipulating the page nodes via
PDPage#setParent, however I can't figure out how to do this with
2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

Can anyone tell me how to insert a new page at index 0 for an existing
PDF?
Perhaps subsequently adding an example to

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/pdmodel/
could help others?

You can't... unless you create a new PDDocument with the cover page and then
run a merge.

Your feature request already has an issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2400
