NAME

       pdfmom - Produce PDF documents using the mom macro set

SYNOPSIS

       pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroffoptions]] [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 processes files using groff's native PDF
       driver, gropdf.  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 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.
