Insert an empty page before every page of in.pdf. This way you get a PDF that gives you space for adding annotations for pages:

$ pdfcpu pages insert in.pdf
writing in.pdf...

Insert an empty page before pages 1 to 5:

$ pdfcpu pages insert in.pdf out.pdf --pages 1-5
writing out.pdf...

Insert an empty page after the last page:

$ pdfcpu pages insert in.pdf out.pdf --pages l --mode after 
writing out.pdf...

Insert a page into streamed input and upload the result:

$ aws s3 cp s3://acme-forms/packet.pdf - \
   | pdfcpu pages insert --pages 1 - - \
   | aws s3 cp - s3://acme-forms/packet-with-cover.pdf
