I think there's something you're not telling us?  Also suggested by the
-dpaper.  :-)  in.txt isn't just a lines of 190 characters but troff
directives too?  I find this works fine for me.

    (printf '.nf\n'; seq -f '%190.0f' 200 | sed 's/  /x /g') |
    groff -Tps -P-pa3 -P-l |
    ps2pdf - foo.pdf

Cheers, Ralph.
