pdfmom - produce PDF documents using the mom macro package for groff
pdfmom [-Tpdf] [groff-options] file ...
pdfmom -Tps [pdfroff-options] [groff-options] file ...
pdfmom -v
pdfmom is a wrapper around groff(1) that facilitates the production
of PDF documents from files formatted with the mom macros.
pdfmom prints to the standard output, so output must usually be
redirected to a destination file. The size of the final PDF can be
reduced by piping the output through ps2pdf(1).
If called with the -Tpdf option (which is the default), pdfmom
processes files using groff's native PDF driver, gropdf(1). If -Tps
is given, processing is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's
PostScript driver. In either case, multiple runs of the source file
are performed 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
manual Producing PDFs with groff and mom, which was itself produced
with pdfmom.
If called with the -v option, pdfmom simply displays its version
information and exits.
pdfmom sometimes issues warnings of the type
...: can't transparently output node at top level
but this is more of an annoyance than a bug, and may safely be
ignored.
