In LaTeX, I would typically use the enumitem package, and then start an
itemized list with
\begin{itemize}[itemsep= ]
where itemsep could equal whatever spacing I wanted.
How do I change the inter-item vertical spacing (specifically, decrease
it) in org-mode with pdflatex export?
Thanks.

If I follow correctly, you're saying that enumitem works in raw LaTeX
and you want to use it via Org-mode? If so, can you get by with
applying document-wide settings in the .org file header?
#+latex_header: \usepackage{enumitem}
#+latex_header: \setlist or \setenumerate [global options you want applied][1]
Or do you need control at the level of specific itemized groupings,
and thus document-wide settings wouldn't work for your situation?
Hope that helps?
John

You'll need to make certain enumitem is loaded. Then, this should work:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options itemsep=1pt
- One
- Two
- Three
\begin{itemize}[itemsep=1pt]
\item One
\item Two
\item Threee
\end{itemize}
% Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.3c)
All the best,
Tom

Thanks, but I'm still having trouble.
If the beginning of my org subtree looks like this:
** Review of assessment system for preceptors
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ReviewOfAssessmentSystemForPreceptors-12-02-2013
:EXPORT_TITLE: Review of our system for assessing students' clinical
performance
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Christopher w. Ryan, MD MS
:EXPORT_EMAIL: cryan@binghamton.edu
:EXPORT_LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}
:END:
*** Introduction
Then I get a Latex preamble looks like this:
% Created 2013-12-09 Mon 15:02

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\date{\today}
\hypersetup{

pdfsubject={},
pdfcreator={Emacs Org-mode version 7.9.3f}}
The enumitem package is not loaded. Also, I'm puzzled by the appearance
of \usepackage{charter} twice, when I did not even call it once in the
org subtree.
If, on the other hand, my org subtree looks like this:
** Review of assessment system for preceptors
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ReviewOfAssessmentSystemForPreceptors-12-02-2013
:EXPORT_TITLE: Review of our system for assessing students' clinical
performance
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Christopher w. Ryan, MD MS
:EXPORT_EMAIL: cryan@binghamton.edu
:END:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem}
Then my Latex preamble looks like this:
% Created 2013-12-09 Mon 15:07
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Note that enumitem is indeed loaded. But including
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options itemsep=1pt
before a simple list in my org-mode subtree does not change the vertical
spacing between list items at all.
And a relevant exerpt from my .tex exported file is
\begin{itemize}
\item Don't fill out a form that the student has signed, blank, ahead of
time
\item Don't fill out a second form after you have already submitted one
\item Don't mention any suggested grade for the clerkship. Performance
in your office counts for half the final grade; the other half is based
on other activities
\end{itemize}
Note no [itemsep= ] option.

Note Org-mode version.

I think the ability to pass #+attr_latex options to plain lists was a
more recent feature, > Org 8.0 with the new export framework. Unless
you're manually accessing that exporter via the sort of "trial period"
methods that used to exist while it was in heavy development, I'm
going to assume you're using the old exporter and thus don't have this
feature.
Here's the announcement/upgrade info if you'd like to update things to Org 8+:
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html
Here's my output:
==== Org file ====
#+latex_header: \usepackage{enumitem}
* Test
** normal
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
** with enumitem
#+attr_latex: :options itemsep=1pt
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
==========
==== LateX output ====
\section{Test}
\label{sec-1}
\subsection{normal}
\label{sec-1-1}
\begin{itemize}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{itemize}
\subsection{with enumitem}
\label{sec-1-2}
\begin{itemize}[itemsep=1pt]
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{itemize}
=========
In inspecting the PDF output, the spacing is, indeed, different
between the two lists (less in the second case).
I didn't comment on your per-headline latex setup/properties/issues,
as I don't really do that. I typically just put everything in the main
document. I'm sure someone else can chime in, though.
Best regards,
John
