I have a problem of extra-space after multicol
environment. I am trying to create a small form; here is an example of my code:
\documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{extreport}
\usepackage{fontspec} %
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\usepackage{cfr-lm}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{framed, color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{0.64, 0.64, 0.82}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\noindent
\textbf{Procurement \textnumero:} \dotfill \\
{} \\
\textbf{Procurement date:} \dotfill \\
{} \\
\textbf{Shipment type:} \dotfill \\
\vfill\null
\columnbreak
\noindent \textbf{Received by:} \dotfill \\
{} \\
\textbf{Received on date:} \dotfill \\
{} \\
\textbf{COuntry of origin:} \dotfill \\
\end{multicols} %\par
\begin{center}
\begin{shaded}
\Large \textbf{\textsc{Exemplary Specimen:}}
\end{shaded}
\end{center} \par
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
There is way too much space after 2-columns environment! It eats valuable space, as I want my form to fit within 1 page! I think I tried to use \setlength\multicolsep{0pt}
, but with no effect! Any hints are welcomed! Thank you!

The following provides some clearer code that reproduces the output, but with options to play around with the spacing:
You can also just use the
article
class, shrink the base font size and then usegeometry
to allow more real estate on your page. Something like, say
