I'm not entirely sure; my approach is to work in org to plan a
document and then export to latex and do the last of the writing from
that so compilation is controlled by make files. 

You should be able to get emacs to run everything needed though. I
think exporting to latex rather than pdf and putting the latex->pdf
compilation steps into org-export-latex-final-hook with call-process
should work.

If you're building a pdf version to hand in pdflatex is probably the
easiest way rather than latex->dvi->pdf.
