just to add a couple of comments:
1. pdf-tools was forked about 1-2 years ago, and now active at:
https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools
It can be a bit fussy to install compared to most Emacs packages,
because of dependencies and the binaries it creates. However, I like it
and use it regularly.
2. A non-answer to the original question, but I prefer writing Makefiles
to build my documents, rather than using Emacs functionality. Emacs has
a good interface to running make (e.g. through M-x compile). Use
whatever is best for you, but just thought I'd mention it.
