PDF Man Pages.

This script comes directly from johnraff.  I make NO claim to it being mine, john noticed I was using a script to put man pages into text files and opening them in a text editor - come characters are messed up that way but this is MUCH better!

convert man page to pdf & show in epdfview/evince/mupdf/etc

I call it: pman

#!/bin/bash
# oneliner from commandlinefu.com
# man -t $1 | ps2pdf - - | epdfview -
# bash script from johnraff
# pman filename
# convert man page to pdf & show in epdfview/evince/mupdf

file=$(mktemp)
man -t $1 | ps2pdf - $file

evince $file
#epdfview $file
#mupdf $file

rm $file
exit

And an example:
