Name of contribution: savetrees
Version number: 1.3
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/savetrees
Summary description: Pack as much as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 1.3 of savetrees adds support for pdfTeX's font-expansion mechanism via the microtype package. Documents built with pdflatex should therefore shrink even more than with previous versions of savetrees.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/savetrees (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

savetrees – Optimise the use of each page of a LaTeX document
The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission.
Most of the package options cover specific modifications to typesetting rules, but there are also options subtle, moderate and extreme options for the “broad brush” approach.
