You could do this using after-save-hook. So, something like
(add-hook 'after-save-hook
'pandoc-hook)
(defun pandoc-hook()
(compile "pandoc -t latex...."))
Personally, I do this outside Emacs, though, with this little bash
script.
#!/bin/bash
make $*
while inotifywait -r -e MODIFY --exclude ".#*" --exclude ".*~" .
do
make $*;
done;
Cheap, cheerful but effective.
