Process

  1. Get the 8 images ready for example via a 8-page DIN A4 PDF via the https://pdf2png.com/ website.
  2. Copy the LaTeX code e.g. to https://www.overleaf.com and create a page directory for the images.
  3. Add the images to the page directory and make sure they are named as their page number.
  4. Reorder the pages for each side of the flyer from left-to-right. Compile to see the results.
  5. 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.
