Cover page

Add a cover page in front of a ready-made PDF when the PDF does not match Ropo's print layout.

Use a cover page when you send a ready-made PDF that does not follow Ropo's print layout.

Ropo adds the cover page as the first page. The sender and receiver details stay visible in the envelope window. The actual letter stays hidden behind the cover page.

Cover page is only used for printed documents. If the document is delivered through a digital channel, the cover page is not used.

How to enable

Set post_cover_letter in the dataset-level propertyrow when you post a new job to Ropo One.

Request example

Add post_cover_letter to the dataset-level propertyrow of the same document payload as the PDF you send.

{
  "datastream": {
    "dataset": [
      {
        "jobtype": "301",
        "sendtype": "post",
        "customertype": "2",
        "person": "Nelli Niirulainen",
        "address": "Kellokoskenkatu 15 A 3",
        "postcode": "70100",
        "city": "KUOPIO",
        "propertyrow": [
          {
            "propname": "post_cover_letter",
            "propvalue": "1"
          }
        ],
        "image": {
          "filename": "letter.pdf",
          "file": "<base64-pdf>"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Use propvalue 1 to enable the cover page.

When to use it

• The PDF is already finalized.
• The PDF does not match Ropo's layout instructions for printing.
• You need the sender and receiver details visible in the envelope window.
