[Tex/LaTex] inserting a pdf file in the beginning in xelatex

pdfxetex

I was creating a book using XeLateX. I've got a front page created by someone else which is in pdf format. Now my question is how can I insert the pdf file to the beginning? I have done this in LaTeX using

\includepdf[noautoscale]{frontcover}

using the pdfpages package. but I'm unable to do so with XeLaTeX. Any pointers?

The easiest way might be to compile the document without the front cover and then prepend it later. There are various programs that can modify PDF documents in this way, for example Pdftk. You might need to adjust the page counter in LaTeX to get the page numbers right.
