pdfmom - Produce PDF documents using the mom macro set SYNOPSIS
pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroff options]] [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. SEE ALSO

groff_mom - groff `mom' macros SYNOPSIS
pdfmom [-Tps [pdfroff options]] [groff options] files ... groff [-mom] files ... groff [-m mom] files ... DESCRIPTION
mom is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents for PDF and PostScript output. mom provides two categories of macros: macros for typesetting, and macros for document processing. The typesetting macros provide access to groff's typesetting capabilities in ways that are simpler to master than groff's primitives. The document processing macros provide highly customizable markup tags that allow the user to design and output professional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting intervention. Files processed with pdfmom (man(1) pdfmom), with or without the -Tps option, produce PDF documents. The documents include a PDF outline that appears in the 'Contents' panel of document viewers, and may contain clickable internal and external links. When -Tps is absent, groff's native PDF driver, gropdf, is used to generate the output. When given, the output is still PDF, but process- ing is passed over to pdfroff, which uses groff's PostScript driver, grops. Not all PDF features are available when -Tps is given; its primary use is to allow processing of files with embedded PostScript images. Files processed with groff -mom (or -m mom ) produce PostScript output by default. mom comes with her own very complete documentation in HTML format. A separate PDF manual, Producing PDFs with groff and mom, covers full mom/PDF usage. FILES
