I'm not sure if you can do PDF directly, but it's easy to get it to
produce postscript or image files.  For example, if you've got the
layout for a directed graph in foo.dot, you can create foo.ps with the
command

  % dot -Tps foo.dot -o foo.ps

That's what I usually do, because then it's easy to insert it into a
LaTeX document.  If you wanted to create a JPEG, you'd just change
the options to

  % dot -Tjpg foo.dot -o foo.jpg
