How to eliminate unnecessary page break in LaTeX?

I have the following problem: In the end of my document, the last 2 lines appear on an empty new page. However, it looks esthetically ugly, and I would like the 2 lines to continue on the previous page, and end the document with a full page, even with the price of smaller margin or more condensed text. How can I achieve that?

You could enlarge any page by a "single line" using

\enlargethispage{\baselineskip}

on that specific page. Two extra lines are obtained by a length of 2\baselineskip, etc. This will increase the bottom margin to accommodate the addition. There is also a "user friendly wrapper" for this function in the form of the addlines package.

    The question and the answer are a duplicate of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/26431/how-to-eliminate-unnecessary-page-break-in-latex. We should try and avoid duplicates if possible. They make searching much more difficult. – yannisl Nov 25 '11 at 03:07
