Process
- Get the 8 images ready for example via a 8-page DIN A4 PDF via the https://pdf2png.com/ website.
- Copy the LaTeX code e.g. to https://www.overleaf.com and create a
page
directory for the images. - Add the images to the
page
directory and make sure they are named as their page number. - Reorder the pages for each side of the flyer from left-to-right. Compile to see the results.
- Take the compiled PDF to the website used for printing e.g. https://www.flyeralarm.com (170-200g as paper weight for printing). To save some money, consider printing as an unfolded flyer and manually fold it oneself.
Modifications
