PDFMOM(1)                  OpenBSD Reference Manual                  PDFMOM(1)



NAME
       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.
