@mangledorf: Ask a new question on here and show the full preamble that you're using.

comment Determine required number of pdflatex runs to generate complete document
There are two indices with page references. I can associate each "preamble snippet" (e.g., font definitions) with an additional latex runs tally. Unfortunately, latexmk doesn't provide an option (yet) to use draftmode until the final run, which is the crux of the problem.

comment Determine required number of pdflatex runs to generate complete document
@Marco: My question is not about a general-purpose solution for all possible LaTeX files. I assure you that this is not the case. I have a very specific problem domain. Users cannot inject their own LaTeX. The LaTeX is generated from XSLT being applied to an XML document.

comment Determine required number of pdflatex runs to generate complete document
The preamble is, quite literally, combined from a set of distinct snippets within a database table. It would be trivial to associate a count of the number of additional runs that each snippet requires. We control the packages. There is no randomly generated data; the LaTeX files are quite simple: images and text.

comment Determine required number of pdflatex runs to generate complete document
@Marco: In this case, the LaTeX file is computer-generated, with a database-backed preamble. We should be able to determine the number of runs required because users cannot add "more" to the document. They can add more content, and mix & match different items from predefined preamble snippets, but they cannot, for example, add a table of figures nor change the class/style.
