Welcome to the git community!

The patch itself applies cleanly and the generated pdfs look really great, though how would I read man pages in pdf format? I tried searching the web and all I can find is how to convert the a man page to pdf. So is there a conveniant way to tell `man` to prefer opening pdfs when available?
