I did the same but I used MSword and with some scaling and 2 Colon 
text i managed to put HTDP in 80 pages A4. And SCIP in 120 - 150 pp. 
with satisfying quality but too small letters.
because reading from 70 Hz refresh rate is killing for me.
But I wouldn't say this is "circulation" - this is only for personal use.

It is sad but it is true! 
 With salary 134 USD  per month - rather "go without" then purchase.
