Some options within the analysis tools require a .tpr file (binary input for a 
Gromacs simulation).  It depends on what you are trying to do.  g_velacc 
requires a .trr trajectory file as input (produced from a simulation), so .pdb 
will not work.  g_energy requires a .edr file (also from a simulation).

For investigating what tools do and what you need to give them, read the help 
information from the -h flag for each tool.
