When I wrote the converter three years ago, I just compiled a very
short LaTeX document and looked at the generated document.
The TeXmacs->Postscript converter mimicks the way LaTeX does it.

Now that pdf has become more standard, it would be worth it
to write a direct TeXmacs->pdf converter. I do not have time
at the moment to do this, but it should be too hard for
a volunteer to write such a program: you may modify
the file src/Window/PsDevice/printer.gen.cc in such a way
that it generates pdf output instead of postscript output
(the code in printer.gen.cc should be rather self-explanary,
but you may of course ask me for additional help).
If you can make this work, I will rename the file as
src/Window/PsDevice/pdf.gen.cc and make the necessary
other modifications. At a second stage, we might add
special support for hyperlinks and other typical pdf stuff.
