DESCRIPTION

14       pdfmom is a wrapper around groff that facilitates the production of PDF
15       documents from files formatted with the mom macros.
16
17       pdfmom prints to stdout, so output must be redirected to a  destination
18       file.   The  size  of the final PDF can be reduced by piping the output
19       through ps2pdf.
20
21       If called with the -Tpdf option (which is  the  default),  pdfmom  pro‐
22       cesses  files  using  groff's  native  PDF  driver, gropdf.  If -Tps is
23       given, processing is passed over to pdfroff, which uses  groff's  Post‐
24       Script  driver.   In  either case, multiple runs of the source file are
25       peformed in order to satisfy any forward references in the document.
26
27       pdfmom accepts all the same options as groff.  If -Tps  is  given,  the
28       options associated with pdfroff are accepted as well.  Please note that
29       when pdfmom calls pdfroff, the
30
31              -mpdfmark -mom --no-toc
32
33       options are implied and should  not  be  given  on  the  command  line.
34       Equally,  it is not necessary to supply the -mom or -m mom options when
35       -Tps is absent.
36
37       PDF integration with the mom macros is discussed in  full  in  the  PDF
38       manual, Producing PDFs with groff and mom.

BUGS

41       pdfmom sometimes issues warnings of the type
42
43         ...: can't transparently output node at top level
44
45       This is more of an annoyance than a bug, and may safely be ignored.
