Well, that is in fact what happens, on my system it is local. The URL I gave was for you to check if it was doing what you wanted. I have attached a script (make it executable), which is very much alpha quality, which you can use as follows:- pdfman < $(man -w ls) | groff -Tpdf -mandoc -c > /tmp/ls.pdf Assuming your man pages are not compressed, otherwise you'll need to use a decompressor as well: Cheers Deri
