.SH Description
.\" ====================================================================
.
.I pdfmom
is a wrapper around
.MR groff @MAN1EXT@
that facilitates the production of PDF documents from files
formatted with the
.I mom
macros.
.
.
.P
.I 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
.MR ps2pdf 1 .
.
.
.P
If called with the
.B \-Tpdf
option (which is the default),
.I pdfmom
processes files using
.IR groff 's
native PDF driver,
.MR gropdf @MAN1EXT@ .
.
If
.B \-Tps
is given,
processing is passed over to
.IR pdfroff ,
which uses
.IR 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.
.
.
.P
.I pdfmom
accepts all the same options as
.IR groff .
.
If
.B \-Tps
is given,
the options associated with
.I pdfroff
are accepted as well.
.
When
.I pdfmom
calls
.IR pdfroff ,
the options
.RB \[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
.B \-mom
or
.B "\-m\~mom"
options when
.B \-Tps
is absent.
.
.
.P
PDF integration with the
.I mom
macros is discussed in full in the manual
\[lq]Producing PDFs with
.I groff
and
.IR mom \[rq],
which was itself produced with
.IR pdfmom .
.
.
.P
If called with the
.B \-v
or
.B \-\-version
options,
.I pdfmom
displays its version information and exits.
