To convert an NROFF format file to Postscript or PDF use the following options: The following processes an nroff file and sends it to a Postscript file. A second command is required to convert the resulting Postscript file to PDF. tbl famrepme.txt | groff -me > test.ps The following processes an nroff file and sends it to a PDF file. This does it in one command. tbl famrepme.txt | groff -me > test.pdf NOTE: If you install Cygwin on Windows, a similar command will work.
