How do I specify org-latex-pdf-process for a single file? I am working on a book manuscript, where I need to run makeindex and biber, along with xelatex. That is not normally needed in every document. Can I org-latex-pdf-process in the document itself?

Yes, you can use a local variable.

I like to store configuration components in the library of babel and
call them from there.

So, I have is in the library:

#+name: set-pdf-process-biber
#+header: :results silent
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-latex-pdf-process
        '("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
          "biber %b"
          "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
          "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))
#+end_src

Near the bottom of my document, in a heading tagged :noexport:, I have
this:

# Local Variables: 
# eval: (sbe "set-pdf-process-biber")

hth,
Tom

I'd just use "latexmk -xelatex".  It supports makeindex and biber out of
the box.  Bind org-latex-pdf-process it or use a file-local variable.

Also, feel free to test my recent patch for changing the latex variant on
a file to file basis.

I have the following at the end of most of my org files that are
intended to be exported to LaTeX et al.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Local Variables:
# org-export-allow-bind-keywords: t
# org-latex-pdf-process: ("pdflatex %f")
# eval: (esf/execute-startup-block)
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where the src block esf/execute-startup-block does more general file
specific settings.  Obviously, adapt the pdf process variable to your
needs.

Thanks all. I was not familiar with this way of defining local variables. Just checked the relevant part of the manual. Very useful.

Thanks,

Vikas

And, finally, one solution exposed on Worg:
