Why would it be necessary to execute pdflatex more than once?

But to print from evince requires that I take my hand off the
keyboard and reach for the rodent in order to print.
Kindly forgive my lack of perception, but I do not see why it is
advantageous to introduce into my work routine a PDF file and a PDF
viewer such as evince.
In order to write say, an article, I fire up Emacs, write for a while,
using LaTeX markup, now and then in Emacs executing "Ctrl-x s"
to save the document (I dislike to be interrupted by the auto-save
feature of Emacs).
Occasionally I print out a paper copy of the incomplete article and
move to my reading chair, using a pen to make revisions and correct
typographical errors. To print a copy, I:
= use Alt-TAB to switch to a terminal
= execute "latext foo.tex"
(if I am running latexmk with the -pcv option,
this occurs automatically)
= execute "dvips foo.dvi"
(if I am running latexmk with the -pcv option,
this occurs automatically)
= execute "lpr foo.ps"
= use Alt-TAB to return to the Emacs screen
Sometimes I simply need to glance briefly at the document in typeset
form, without printing it out on paper. For this, I:
= use Alt-TAB to switch to a terminal
= execute "latext foo.tex"
(if I am running latexmk with the -pcv option,
this occurs automatically)
= use Alt-TAB to advance to the xdvi screen
= use Alt-TAB to return to the Emacs screen
