Old exporter ============ If you are using org-odt.el, then you can use file local variables. I have pushed a fix which makes string values of this variable safe. M-x add-file-local-variable RET org-export-odt-preferred-output-format RET "pdf" RET Or Add the following to your Org file. Remember to re-visit the file to activate the newly installed value. # Local Variables: # org-export-odt-preferred-output-format: "pdf" # End: New exporter ============ The above local variable trick will fail in case of org-e-odt.el. When I get some time I will introduce a per-buffer keyword for this variable. --
