Does the pdf /tmp/ls.pdf look alright in the viewer. The warnings you are seeing are to do with the pdf overview pane where you can click on different sections to jump to that section, it should not affect the rest of the pdf. You can suppress all warnings with ./pdfman < $(man -w ls) | groff -Tpdf -mandoc 2>/dev/null > /tmp/ls.pdf
