I am trying to get Groff working on Windows. I have looked at MinGW,

Good morning Blake,
You can produce PDF output from groff indirectly by piping the groff PS
output into ps2pdf. I am assuming ghostscript and its utilities can be
run on Windows.
On my Ubuntu system I often use commands such as:
groff -t -Tps -dpaper=a2 -P-pa2 input_file.gr |
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a2 -sColorModel=LeaveColorUnchanged \
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dEmbedAllFonts=true - output_file.pdf
HTH,
Robert
