Convert terminal man page to pdf/export man page as pdf

Hi there,
Would anyone of you know how to export a man page as a pdf?

I've read several books on UNIX and the bash shell, and read the sections of several MacOSX books on UNIX. I started dabbling way way back, used Linux a bit on a rebuilt 486, installed some UNIX based stuff on pre-OS X Macs (there was Yellow Dog, and something else, whose name escapes me, I used on my 7100). Back then it was best to buy books. These days you can find anything you want to know along those lines on the internet. An excellent place to start:

Whenever I discover/see a useful command I add it to my "cheat sheet" along with an example and an explanation of it. I've organized my "cheat sheet" into categories that make sense to me, so that I can quickly find what I want.
A really handy helpful application for this sort of thing is Clix from Rixstep:

It has various lists of commands, categories and explanations. Truly great software, and it's free.

  • The pdf file that i am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi,
    The pdf file that I am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi christinek,
    Can you please tell me how the PDF that you're converting was created? Sometimes, PDF files created by third-party PDF generators (that is non-Adobe applications), don't contain all the tags and file information necessary to ensure a proper conversion to Excel. There are no settings that you can change in ExportPDF to adjust how the file is imported.
    You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the Description tab. If the PDF was created by a third-party, it just may not be written to spec. Please see Support Policy for PDF Files created by non Adobe applications.

    Hi,
    For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
    To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

    Hey vcomfort6,
    Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
    Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
    Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
    Hope to hear from you.

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8.  The pdf fike only had 251 pages.  Why?

    I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8.  The pdf fike only had 251 pages.  Why?

    Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

  • How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

    Hi!
    We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

    I am also looking for feedback.  Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
    Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document.  Are there any options or work-arounds?

  • Can I convert a web page into a pdf document

    With IE it is possible to convert a web page to a pdf document if you have full Adobe Acrobat. Can this be done with Firefox.

  • Chrome Create PDF Extension Doesn't Convert Secure Web-pages (Acrobat XI)

    Is anyone else having this problem?  Is Adobe even aware or addressing the issue?

    Hi
    Thanks for reporting the issue. We are able to reproduce this issue and we have reported it to Acrobat Engineering team. Now Acrobat engineering team will investigate it.
    You can try creating PDF with Firefox or Internet Explorer as a workaround.

  • Why is the footer blurry when I convert my document to a PDF?

    When I am viewing my document in Pages (using the Club newsletter template) my logo in the footer looks fine.
    However, when I convert the document to a PDF and then view it as a PDF, the footer looks blurry, as though there are two of them.
    I've tried deleting and repasting and using a different format for the logo (e.g., jpg, png), and nothing seems to work.  Could it be a sizing issue?  (obviously I have to shrink my logo quite a bit to get it to fit into the footer....)
    Help appreciated!
    Thanks!

    In your version of Pages, I went into layout mode, selected the footer, and enlarged it enough to cram a 180 dpi 1024x768 image into a thumb-sized image. In the Wrap Inspector, I selected make background objects selectable, and enabled in background. I turned off Object causes wrap.
    I then chose Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master, and exported to PDF Best. At 400% enlargement in Preview, the image and footer looked normally sharp.
    Here is a screen grab of that PDF footer image at 400%.

  • Converting a 1500 page website

    Hello,
    I am trying to convert a website into a PDF file.
    However the website has over 1500 pages, when converting the site it get through about 600 pages then Acrobat crashes.
    Is there anyway to convert the site in folders and containing HTML files inside.
    for example:
    http://www.websitename.com/
    http://www.websitename.com/events/
    http://www.websitename.com/latest_news/
    After the ".com/" these are folder names which whole 100's of .html files.
    Does anyone know if this can be done and how?
    Regards,
    Craig.E

    Thank you so very much - I did exactly as you suggested, exported to Pages 09, then opened v4.3, loaded up the file and then saved it to PDF perfectly.
    I am 71, you would think after so many years, so very many years in fact, ever since Ms-Dos, that I would just not expect new software to function as it says on the tin.  But Apple really had me believing that Pages v5 would pretty much do what 4.3 did, but with a few new 'bells and whistles'.
    So I will use v5 to finish my book, then convert it to 09 again, to convert it to PDF for the printers.
    Not exactly true progress, but hey, if it works that is all I ask.
    Thanks VikingOSX - you have made an old guy very happy.

But the patches are diffrennt in both the servers, the server from which layout is not coming properly having the high level patches in compare to the other server(which is working fine).
