Sliding platen cover apparatus which supports a stack of documents to be copied on the platen of a copier machine, and then is moved over the document to be copied and actuated to produce a frictional contact with the document against the platen. After copying and while in frictional contact, the cover apparatus is slidingly moved in a reverse direction to remove the document from the platen enabling the next document to be placed on the platen. The platen cover apparatus uses an articulated platen pad which is urged into contact with the document on the platen by a handle operated by a machine operator. The apparatus maintains frictional contact with the document until it is deposited into a receiving tray adjacent to the platen.
