Yeah, I found something
In your building pipeline you have to convert the troff to some
postscript using 'lp -dstdout' (warning, it's possible you have to create
a world writable file somewhere as hostowner the first time), then you
feed it through ps2pdf to get a pdf page.
troff ... | lp -dstdout | ps2pdf '-sPAPERSIZE=a4' >output.pdf
(Note the quotes around the = sign)
As an extra bonus, some time ago I wrote a letter, and here are my troff
-ms settings for the page layout
.pl 29.7c
.po 2.5c
.ll 17c
.lt 17c
.ps 12 (optional)
Good luck, and I hope it helps.
