Re: [Groff] passing groff special chars to pdfmark as bookmarks

[smoore]

Deri,

That works right to PDF.  Nice.

For those that have used gs to assemble pdfs, setting various
pdf properties like permissions and pdf display variables, I wonder
how that is to be batched now that groff is going directly to pdf.

Are there extensions for these various attributes available at
groff run-time?
