Open any man page in Preview and save as PDF

Monday, 4 October 2010 08:28 by Davian

If you’re tired of looking over a man page within the Terminal, you can launch any man page into Preview with the following command:

man -t ipconfig | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app

This example uses ipconfig, but just replace ‘ipconfig’ with any other man page you’d like to read within Preview and it’ll work the same.

Save the man page as PDF

Once the man page is opened within Preview, you can then use Preview to “Save As” and then create a PDF file of the man page for later viewing.
