How do I create a PDF document whose height exactly matches the contents?
I have a document that is about 1/3 to 1/2 page long. I want to compile it to a PDF document. That PDF document will be included in another document, so I want it to be short - it should contain only the contents of the document, without white space below it. How can I do this?

You could use the standalone class in combination with a minipage of the same width as the text in your main document:
documentclassstandalone
usepackagelipsum
begindocument
beginminipage345pt
lipsum[2]
endminipage
enddocument
To find out what the width of the text in your main document is, the showdim package offers the tenthpt macro:
documentclassarticle
usepackagegraphicx
usepackagelipsum
usepackageshowdim
begindocument
tenthpttextwidth
lipsum[2]
noindentincludegraphics[width=textwidth]document
enddocument
(the vertical space between the text and the image might need a bit of adjustment)
