Hi,
I'm using org 7.9.2, with the new exporter dispatcher from org-export. When
I try to include accented letters, such as \'e, they don't work. When I
export to pdf using C-c C-e p, the resulting tex file shows $\backslash$'e
where I had \'e in the org file. Other macros, like \alpha, work fine.
How do I include accented letters in my pdflatex exports?
Thanks,
Tyler

Please see the variable org-entities (C-h v org-entities). You'll want
something like \eacute instead of \'e, etc.
There is also org-entities-user for additions to the entity lookup
table. I have this:
(setq org-entities-user nil)
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("space" "\\ " nil " " " " " " "–"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("amacron" "\\={a}" nil "ā" "a" "a" "ā"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("emacron" "\\={e}" nil "ē" "e" "e" "ē"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("imacron" "\\={i}" nil "ī" "i" "i" "ī"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("omacron" "\\={o}" nil "ō" "o" "o" "ō"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("umacron" "\\={u}" nil "ū" "u" "u" "ū"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("Amacron" "\\={A}" nil "Ā" "A" "A" "Ā"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("Emacron" "\\={E}" nil "Ē" "E" "E" "Ē"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("Imacron" "\\={I}" nil "Ī" "I" "I" "Ī"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("Omacron" "\\={O}" nil "Ō" "O" "O" "Ō"))
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '("Umacron" "\\={U}" nil "Ū" "U" "U" "Ū"))
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c e") 'org-export-dispatch)
Also, note that C-c C-e p is typically bound to the old exporter, so you
might be using the old exporter, rather than the new one. The
(define-key ...) above calls the new exporter with C-c e.
hth,
Tom

Exporting to LaTeX or PDF includes this line:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
And that seems to cope quite well with the actual accented characters.
If you learn an input method (latin-1-prefix is probably a good place to start), then accented characters just fall through to the LaTeX and the right thing happens.
`C-u C-\ latin-1-prefix' will set the input method. `C-h I' will get you help on it.

That looks like a bug in the new exporter (the old exporter handles it
properly). You can get accented letters by entering the character in
e.g. utf-8 and arranging for tex to do the right thing (which I think
it does by default with unicode in org's latex export). You can use an
input method to simplify entering such things as well.
Here's a quick intro (there are many other ways to accomplish this):
o Set your language environment to utf-8
(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
o Open a new org file in an emacs buffer: C-x C-f foo.org RET
The new file should have a U:--- designation on the mode line.
o Set your default input method to TeX:
(set-input-method "TeX")
The mode line should now show \U:---
o Enter some text with accented characters - the TeX input method allows
you to enter an accented e with \'e or \`e for example, but what ends up
in the buffer is the accented character itself (in utf-8 encoding).
o Export to latex/pdf. Assuming the tex file includes
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
then TeX will do the right thing.
For more on the TeX aspects, see the TeX FAQ http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html
and search for inputenc.

Eh, I rushed to judgment. It's probably by design, given Tom's mail and
after doing some reading on org-entities.
