You want it set prior to exporting?
Thanks a lot. I don't know if I want to set org-latex-pdf-process _during_ or _prior_ exporting. All I wanted to do is to _not_ set it in the emacs init file, so as to be able to set a specific value depending on whether I was going to use natbib or biblatex, without having to restart emacs. I tried doing something with what you suggest (using #+bind:), but failed: I put the following at the end of my org file (then visited the file again): # Local Variables: # org-export-allow-bind-keywords: t # End: As I was not sure about the bind syntax for the complicated org-latex-pdf-process variable, I tried this first test: #+bind: org-latex-pdf-process "dummy" # (I also tried without the quotes) #+cite_export: natbib plainnat #+bibliography: cite.bib [cite:@chouet88] And then 'C-c C-e l o'. There is no error but the generated pdf is not correct, because (as mentioned some days ago) org-latex-pdf-process does not have the proper value. In other words, '#+bind:' does not work as expected. (By contrast, if I use "my" method, using #+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results (setq org-latex-pdf-process 'dummy) #+end_src then, after 'C-c C-e l o' I get "org-latex-compile: Wrong type argument: sequencep, dummy". ) This post https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/47474/setting-variable-for-org-mode-html-export looked promising, but it also points to this one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41964712/how-does-bind-really-works/42012392#42012392 which looks less so... At any rate, and as I already said, all this business became irrelevant for me once latexmk was installed: no need then to set org-latex-pdf-process. This became only a matter of better understanding some of the org intricacies.
