I have gone through the manuals and learnt about the -T option but it's a bit unclear to me.

If groff and gropdf exists on your Linux system, you should be able to use
man -Tpdf man >man.pdf
(note the absence of a space between -T and pdf)
On an Ubuntu system, it should be enough to install the groff package to get access to gropdf.
The option argument to -T is passed on to groff and groff will use its -T option with the same option argument. So, read the groff manual about -T for more info.

Make sure you have ghostscript package installed:
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
You would need to convert the postscript to the PDF; for the command last that would be:
man -t last | ps2pdf - last.pdf
