This is because it needs the Haskell compiler (ghc), cabal, and a bunch of Haskell packages. Pandoc also distributes binaries, which you can use. There's even an AUR package for it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pandoc-bin/ Whenever I wanted to make PDF documents converted the Markdown files to HTML and then to PDF (using Firefox's PDF printer). It's not perfect, but easy enough to set up and I never needed to do this enough to look for anything better. One advantage is that you can use inline HTML for stuff that's not supported in Markdown if you need it.
