Abstract
A spreadsheet is repurposed to save paper and ink. An indication that a printout of a spreadsheet from a printer has been requested is received. The spreadsheet has content with a format that would result in a first quantity of pages being printed. Further, a printable range for the spreadsheet is determined. In addition, an overlap analysis of the spreadsheet is performed to determine if any of the plurality of shapes in the spreadsheet overlap one another. Each print zone is isolated in the spreadsheet. The print zone includes a group of cells. Each print zone is transformed into a transformed print zone. Further, a green spreadsheet is generated, without falling below a predetermined readability threshold, based on each transformed print zone such that the green spreadsheet has a second quantity of pages that is less than the first quantity of pages.
