Correct.. the pdf export is generated via the latex output. I can generate the Bro.tex file, but wasn't able to get pdflatex to work last night.
Trying to run pdflatex on it first gives memory errors, but doing
export extra_mem_bot=18000000
gets past that, but it has more issues:
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/psnfss/ts1pcr.fd)
! Dimension too large.

l.19029 \end{Verbatim}
?
Now that I'm not super tired, I figured out I can just type R at that prompt and it completes after that.
There's probably some table or figure that is missing from the output, but otherwise the result looks good.
I replaced http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/People/jazoff/bro-2.4.1.pdf with this new output. The latex -> pdf output is much nicer than the man -> pdf output. In addition to the links working, the images are included.
It looks like it could still use some tweaks. I think the main thing is that the ToC needs to show one more sub level to break up each of the sections further. I tried changing the index.rst to have
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 3
instead of 2 but that didn't seem to do anything. The docs has a note that "The LaTeX writer only refers the maxdepth option of first toctree directive in the document." but the one in index.rst should be the first.
