Amber, please read it again.

The pronoun "They" refers to _Makefiles_ that I have for document
processing. They are made in such a manner that I can process .mm, .ms,
.me, .mpr (for -mpresent) and .tex files with them.
I just type 'make' and the output in PostScript or PDF is produced.
If there are more than one kind of document in the directory they are
either all made, or I can limit it to one only by defining, for example,
DOCS=mydoc.ms
in the local.mk file.
It works for me, and I bet every serious groffer has some set of
Makefiles like that for their personal use.
However, I never said that I use pdfroff on (La)TeX files.
In fact these are the lines in my Makefile you are interested in.
##### TeX #####
.dvi.ps:
${DVIPS} ${DVIPSOPTS} -o $@ $<
.tex.bbl:
${TEX} $<
-${BIBTEX} $<
.tex.dvi:
for i in 1 2 3 ; do ${TEX:pdf%=%} $< ; done >${TEX:pdf%=%}.log
.tex.pdf:
for i in 1 2 3 ; do ${TEX} $< ; done >${TEX}.log
(for loop above is to resolve the references in (La)TeX with 3 passes)
where the variables are defined (among many others for groff) as
DVIPS ?= dvips
BIBTEX ?= bibtex
TEX ?= pdflatex
and
DVIPSOPTS ?= -Ppdf
As you can see it's pure TeX and it's totally off topic for this list.
Best regards,
