Alternatively, if your groff installation is reasonably up to date pdfroff --no-toc -mandoc -st <filename> > <filename>.pdf should also work, but will be less efficient, for pdfroff aggressively reprocesses the input file, looking for, and resolving cross references defined using the pdfmark macros, (which haven't been used in this example).
