There are two issues here:

First, the Rdconv command only transforms one Rd file at a time; your question suggests that you want the full manual.

Second, the Rd2dvi command is your friend. I just ran the following on a local package:

R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf --title='Test of foo' -o /tmp/foo.pdf man/*.Rd

That should be what you asked for.
