Summary description: Help reduce page count by suggesting where to trim text
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

wheretotrim is a Perl script and auxiliary LaTeX package
that helps LaTeX users reduce their document's page count.
It is intended to be used with documents that exceed a
publisher's specified page-length limitation by a small
amount (much less than a full column or page).  wheretotrim
reports the page and column on which the least amount of
text needs to be trimmed to reduce the page count.  It works
by repeatedly rebuilding the given document, analyzing the
benefit of trimming from each column or page one line of
text, then two, then three, and so forth until the
document's page count decreases.

wheretotrim has been tested only on Linux.  It might work on
OS X.  It probably won't work on Windows.
