Adding an abstract to the home page in latex

Question

Below is my LaTeX code. By default, the abstract is on the first page following the cover page. But the cover page has a lot of space at the bottom, and my abstract will be short, anyway, to include it below the components of the cover page?

Thanks code:

\documentclass[12pt,reqno,a4paper,titlepage]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{amssybm}%for math bold \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \usepackage{verbatim} \usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry}%for the margins headers footers etc \usepackage{hyperref}%for the hyperlinks-COOL and must use \usepackage[tt]{titlepic}%package i downloaded to put a pic in the titlepage \usepackage{helvet} \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}%options to use names like redviolet and others \begin{document} \title{title} \titlepic{\setlength\fboxsep{0pt}\setlength\fboxrule{4pt} \fcolorbox{Plum}{green}{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{pic}}} \author{\Huge my name} \maketitle \begin{abstract} abstract text here \end{abstract} document text here \end{document} 

Answer 1

Exchange cover page for minipage

 \begin{minipage}[h]{\textwidth} \maketitle \end{minipage} 

Then you can add text below it.
