The “[ -s <file> ]” tests for the existence of <file> AND that <file> 
has a size greater than 0. If this condition is true, it will perform 
the echo and output the redirect-line. A more verbose version would be:

    if [ -s ${tmp}.pdf ]; then
       echo '</pre><meta http-equiv="Refresh" 
content="0;URL=file:///'${tmp}'.pdf">'
    fi

(I'm misusing the lazy/short-cut nature of the && operator as an 
if-statement)

Well, the redirect (written using the echo) should at least point to 
the proper PDF file, the same goes for the if.

So I'm thinking the line should be something like:
    pdf=`basename "$TM_LATEX_MASTER"`.pdf
    [ -s $pdf ] && echo '</pre><meta http-equiv="Refresh" 
content="0;URL=file:///'$pdf'>'
