NAME
pdfmom - Produce PDF documents using the mom macro set
SYNOPSIS
pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroff options]] [groff options] files ...
pdfmom [-Tpdf] [groff options] files ...
DESCRIPTION
pdfmom is a wrapper around groff that facilitates the production of PDF
documents from files formatted with the mom macros.
pdfmom prints to stdout, so output must be redirected to a destination
file. The size of the final PDF can be reduced by piping the output
through ps2pdf.
If called with the -Tpdf option (which is the default), pdfmom pro-
cesses files using groff's native PDF driver, gropdf. If -Tps is
given, processing is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's Post-
Script driver. In either case, multiple runs of the source file are
peformed in order to satisfy any forward references in the document.
pdfmom accepts all the same options as groff. If -Tps is given, the
options associated with pdfroff are accepted as well. Please note that
when pdfmom calls pdfroff, the
-mpdfmark -mom --no-toc
options are implied and should not be given on the command line.
Equally, it is not necessary to supply the -mom or -m mom options when
-Tps is absent.
PDF integration with the mom macros is discussed in full in the PDF
manual, Producing PDFs with groff and mom.
BUGS
pdfmom sometimes issues warnings of the type
...: can't transparently output node at top level
This is more of an annoyance than a bug, and may safely be ignored.
