pdf-mode is more similar to emacs taste, such as outline mode, flyspell
mode, etc. I do not want it to be like winedt. However, 1000 emacser has
1000 dotemacs. If you want "Generate DVI", "Generate PDF with pdflatex",
"Generate PDF with dvips" you can input the command into minibuffer. If
you like them in menu, you can do like this way (part of my dotemacs):

(setq my-tex-commands-extra (list
                             (list "All" "texify --tex-opt=--src %s.tex" 
'TeX-run-command nil t)
                             (list "All pdf" "texify --pdf %s.tex" 
'TeX-run-command nil t)
                             (list "pdfLaTeX" "pdflatex \\nonstopmode\\input %t"
'TeX-run-LaTeX nil t)
                             (list "dvipdfmx" "dvipdfmx \"%s.dvi\"" 
'TeX-run-command nil t)
                             (list "dvips" "dvips %s.dvi" 'TeX-run-command nil 
t)
                             (list "ps2pdf" "ps2pdf %s.ps" 'TeX-run-command nil 
t)
                             (list "gbk2uni" "gbk2uni \"%s.out\"" 
'TeX-run-command nil t)
                             (list "Yap" "yap -1 \"%dS\" \"%d\"" 
'TeX-run-discard nil t)
                             (list "Gsview" "start .\\\"%s.ps\"" 'TeX-run-LaTeX 
nil t)
                             (list "Acrobat" "start .\\\"%s.pdf\"" 
'TeX-run-command nil t)
                             (list "Clean" "del /s *.log *.aux %s.out %s.exa 
%s.ilg %s.idx
%s.ind %s.lof %s.lot %s.toc %s.bbl %s.blg ctextemp_*.*" 'TeX-run-command
nil t)))

(require 'tex)
(setq TeX-command-list (append TeX-command-list my-tex-commands-extra))
