I did supply a self-contained example.
You do not need any BioC packages installed.
All you need is this file:

https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/genefu/man/genefu-package.Rd
(username: readonly, password: readonly)
And this command:
R CMD Rd2pdf --no-preview --output=./tmp.pdf --title=test genefu-package.Rd
No .tex file is generated.

Thanks!
