(assuming a tweakable solution exists) No, it's not a script. pdflatex is a variant of tex/latex (cf. http://www.latex-project.org/intro.html) that creates PDF files. The formatting issues could probably be reduced by creating a special class file for our books or by using the technics of the \section, et al., macros that prevent pagebreaks just after a section title.
