flyer-composer can be used to prepare one- or two-sided flyers for printing on one sheet of paper.

Imagine you have designed a flyer in A6 format and want to print it using your A4 printer. Of course, you want to print four flyers on each sheet. This is where Flyer Composer steps in, creating a PDF which holds your flyer four times. If you have a second page, Flyer Composer can arrange it the same way - even if the second page is in a separate PDF file.

This package contains only the command line tool. If you like to use the gui, please install the flyer-composer-gui package.
