French translation:les plaquettes à distribuer
Explanation:
I think that hand-in here is used almost instead of hand out... Why ? Because it seems to me that for it to be translated as meaning "submitted", the sentence should have been "handed-in boards"... That's the only sense I'm making of the source sentence... So part of your sentence would "revoir et adapter les plaquettes et brochures à distribuer "

Explanation:
'Board' has several meanings. I chose the one above because it is more consistent with booklet. See below the definition of 'plaquette':

Ouvrage comportant un nombre limité de pages. Ce terme s'emploie pour désigner des publications de haute époque (ex. plaquette gothique), ou pour désigner des publications actuelles tirées à petit nombre et imprimées avec un soin particulier`` (Brun 1968).

Erratum: 'livrées' instead of 'livrees'
