No, Acrobat is bloated, slow, and Adobe don't support Linux any more IIRC. > On Mac, command-D brings up the document property window. The title on > Descript tab is "Untitled". Oh, you mean the title in PDF's metadata; I thought you meant the man page title on the printed page! Try altering the PostScript's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Structuring_Conventions comments at the start to have the desired title before converting it to PS. $ man -t ls | sed '1s/$/\n%%Title: ls(1)/' | ps2pdf - - | pdfinfo - Title: ls(1) Creator: groff version 1.20.1 Producer: GPL Ghostscript 8.71 CreationDate: Sun Jun 14 09:34:08 2015 ModDate: Sun Jun 14 09:34:08 2015 Tagged: no Pages: 4 Encrypted: no Page size: 595 x 842 pts (A4) Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 $ Perhaps the backends, like grops, should accept some \X commands to set metadata, passing on those they understand, e.g. title.
