NAME

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
processes files using groff[aq]s native PDF driver,
gropdf.
If
-Tps
is given, processing is passed over to
pdfroff,
which uses
groff[aq]s
PostScript 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[aq]t transparently output node at top level
This is more of an annoyance than a bug, and may safely be ignored.
