NAME
       pdfmom - produce PDF documents using the mom macro package for groff

SYNOPSIS
       pdfmom [-Tpdf] [groff-options] file ...

       pdfmom -Tps [pdfroff-options] [groff-options] file ...

       pdfmom -v

DESCRIPTION
       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.

BUGS
       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.
