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.
