Dear Maintainer,
I used the following to export man pages (ie ssh_config, written in
mdoc-style) to a pdf file for double-sided printing:
zcat /usr/share/man/man5/ssh_config.5.gz |groff -man -rD1 -Tps - |ps2pdf
- ssh_config.pdf
The page numbers in the resulting pdf file are placed incorrectly.
This does not affect documents written using the "man" format, for example
it will not affect the man.pdf resulting from the following:
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz |groff -man -rD1 -Tps - |ps2pdf
- man.pdf
