I just tried to export a single subtree from an org document to a PDF file:
1) Type C-c C-e [org-export-dispatch]
2) C-s to narrow to subtree
3) l -> o to export to PDF via LaTeX
However, instead of exporting the portion of the file I want, I get the error message
Undefined Org macro: newline; aborting
That macro is defined in a setup file that is #+included at the top of the file, so exporting the entire file works fine.
I assume the problem is that when I export only one subtree, the setup file is not #+included, and I can see it sort of makes sense, but it would be nice if there were an option to include one or more lines from the preamble when exporting just a subtree, since otherwise exporting a subtree doesn’t actually work! Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks.

I don't know if this does what you want, but I use a ‘PROPERTIES’ drawer right below the subtree's headline and in that drawer, I put the following code:
:EXPORT_LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA: \input{latex-preamble.tex}

Thanks for the suggestion!
It would still be nice (i.e., you wouldn’t have to do this for every section you ever want to export) to have a way of specifying a line that gets executed for EVERY (say) LaTeX export. Or else an option to do something like include everything in the file before the first section header.

That capability does (if you’re careful) seem to exist. In my case, I just had to replace
#+include: setup.org <http://setup.org/>
with
#+setupfile: setup.org
and now exporting includes the macro definitions in setup.org <http://setup.org/> even when I’m only exporting a subtree.

That would be a nice feature, but I also like using the 'PROPERTIES' drawer because it enables me to have very fine control over the export of a subtree. A typical drawer I use looks like this:
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_TITLE: *Subtree Title*
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: Exported-Subtree
:EXPORT_LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA: \input{latex-preamble.tex} \hypersetup{pdftitle={Subtree Title},pdfauthor={Scott Randby},pdfsubject={},pdfkeywords={},pdfproducer={Emacs Org},pdfcreator={pdflatex}} \hypersetup{colorlinks=true,urlcolor=blue,linkcolor=blue} %\pagestyle{empty} % Turn page numbering off
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: h:4 author:nil email:nil date:nil creator:nil timestamp:nil tags:nil num:0 toc:nil
:END:
