I’ve posted before on converting man files to PDF for easier reading and forgot to post this update. The code is much terser, reminds you when you’ve invoked it without a parameter, and doesn’t leave turds that it has to clean up.
#! /bin/bash
mpg=$1
if [ ! $mpg ]; then
echo "Enter a man page to convert: ";
read mpg;
fi
if [ ! $mpg ]; then
exit;
fi
man -t $mpg | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app;Enjoy!
