Changes over version 0.3
The present release of theleafletclass differs basically from
its predecessor, version 0.3, which had been developed originally by Jürgen Schlegelmilch.
The main change is, that no more post-processing is re- quired to arrange the pages on the sheet. Furthermore, the overall layout has been changed slightly to suit the small page size better. In general, documents that were written for version 0.3 will exhibit different line and page breaks when typeset using the new version of this document class.

...The document class leaflet
Rolf Niepraschk Walter Schmidt Hubert Gäßlein Last updated 2020/11/06 printed November 7, 2020
Overview
The document classleafletcreates a document of (up to) six
small pages in portrait orientation, arranged physically on two “normal-size” pages. The target page sizes supported
by the standard LATEXarticleare available, plusa3paper.
Printing these to both sides of a sheet and folding appropri- ately will yield a six-page leaflet.
Requirements
Using the leafletclass requires that the final document is
created in PostScript or PDF format, using
• TEX anddvips, or
• pdfTEX, or
• VTEX in PS or PDF mode.
(Some other drivers supported by standard LATEX work as
well.)
Features
Basically theleafletclass provides the same features as the
standardarticleclass. There are, however, a number of dif-
ferences and restrictions, as well as some additional facili- ties and peculiarities:
