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
