This should be at your local mirror within a day. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: 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.

savetrees – Optimise the use of each page of a document

The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a 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.
