You can add the back cover as the last page in the PDF. For a PDF ebook, your first page must be your front cover. Then add those as pages to your main PDF.

Downsample the images from a high print-based DPI to something better for ebooks, around 150dpi. Check whether the PDF uses different crop positions for left and right (odd and even) pages. If you’re working from a print PDF, use your PDF editor to remove crop marks. If you’re working from separate PDFs, assemble them into one PDF of the book interior. We’ve not tested these options extensively. If you don’t, you can try other PDF editors like Foxit Phantom 2.0, PDF Studio or Proview. Most designers and typesetters have Acrobat Pro. Note: You need a good PDF editor to do this.
