Keith is correct. There is an occasion where three passes are needed. When a hot link description includes a page number (\n[%]) if the expansion to the text before this point causes it to move to the next page the descriptive text, collected on the first pass, will be out of date. So a third pass is necessary. And the command becomes:- groff -Tpdf -dPDF.EXPORT=1 -z $cmdstring 2>&1 | grep '^\.ds' | \ groff -Tpdf -dPDF.EXPORT=1 -z - $cmdstring 2>&1 | grep '^\.ds' | \ groff -Tpdf - $preconv $cmdstring Cheers Deri
