pdfmom -v
pdfmom --version
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. When pdfmom
calls pdfroff, the options "-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 or --version options, pdfmom displays its version
information and exits.
