______ mynewfilename.tex ________________
\input{someotherfile.tex}
_________________________________________

This way you can create mynewfilename.pdf from someotherfile.tex.

Or is there any reason you have to avoid a .tex file with the same
basename as the output file you want to create?

Another option is to write a tiny shell script or makefile.
