.SH DESCRIPTION
.
.B pdfmom
is a wrapper around
.B groff
that facilitates the production of PDF documents from files
formatted with the mom macros.
.
.P
.B 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
.BR ps2pdf .
.
.P
If called with the
.B \-Tpdf
option (which is the default),
.B pdfmom
processes files using groff's native PDF driver,
.BR gropdf .
If
.B \-Tps
is given, processing is passed over to
.BR pdfroff ,
which uses
.BR 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.
.
.P
.B pdfmom
accepts all the same options as
.BR groff .
If
.B \-Tps
is given, the options associated with
.B pdfroff
are accepted as well.
Please note that when
.B pdfmom
calls
.BR pdfroff ,
the
.
.P

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
.B mom
macros is discussed in full in the PDF manual,
.IR "Producing PDFs with groff and mom" .
