Yes.  I often produce PDFs from Org of things like lecture notes,
handouts, etc. where it is more important to get more infomation onto
fewer pages than to have publication-quality output.  (Normally, I do
this with \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}.)  

(However, I just tried to build one of my handouts with the savetrees
package, and was unsuccessful.  I didn't do anything besides loading
savetrees instead of geometry.  Is savetrees incompatible with other
packages Org loads by default?)

Best,
Richard
