Okay. I read the list, so I was aware that it was intended to make
using the pdfmark package easier; however, I assumed that it would
process regular (non-pdfmark) files as well. I read the man page to see
if that was the case; since nothing mentioned otherwise, I assumed it
was. Perhaps a mention in the man page about this might help avoid
unrealistic expectations.
My main motivation for using pdfroff instead of plain groff -Tps is that
ghostscript (and all the document viewers based on it) produces (IMO)
ugly font output when viewing PostScript files in X, whereas poppler
produces nice output for PDF. I guess I'll go back to piping the output
of groff into ps2pdf.
