Description
pdfmom
is a wrapper around
that facilitates the production of PDF documents from files
formatted with the
mom
macros.
If the
--roff
option is used,
the wrapper can be used with macro packages other than
This is also true if the wrapper is renamed or linked as a
pseudonym;
for example,
creating a
pdfms
link pointing to the
pdfmom
executable makes a wrapper for producing PDFs with the
ms
package.
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
If called with the
-Tpdf
option (which is the default),
pdfmom
processes files using
groff's
native PDF driver,
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.
When
pdfmom
calls
pdfroff,
the options
[lq]
-mpdfmark -mom --no-toc[rq]
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
[lq]Producing PDFs with
groff
and
mom[rq],
which was itself produced with
pdfmom.
If called with the
-v
or
--version
options,
pdfmom
displays its version information and exits.
Using the
--help
option displays a usage message and exits.
