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.
