Re: [groff] Printing landscape with mm

groff_mm(7) talks of `.PGFORM'.

    printf '%s\n' '.PGFORM 9i 8.5i 1i' ".PF 'left'centre'right'" `seq 3000` |
    groff -mm -Tpdf -P-l -P-pletter >foo.pdf

You'll see page one's header is centred on the old page width compared
with pages two and three.

Using registers set on the command-line, before the `-mm' has effect,
avoids this problem, as hinted at in groff_mm(7).

    printf '%s\n' ".PF 'left'centre'right'" `seq 3000` |
    groff -mm -Tpdf -rL=8.5i -rO=1i -rW=9i -P-l -P-pletter >bar.pdf
