Summary description: Balance last page in two-column mode
Announcement text:
pbalance is a new package that aims at balancing the columns on the last page of a two-column document. If the page is "simple" (no footnotes, floats, or marginpars), is uses the balance package; otherwise, it uses \enlargethispage to make the left column shorter, balancing the columns. This involves extra LaTeX passes and columns are not perfectly balanced, they are merely "not too unequal". On the plus side, it should never generate defective output.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pbalance More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pbalance
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun
