It's not clear to me from the docs how to default to pdf mode for all
files.  I have no need for dvi and pdf is more flexible with graphics
inclusion (e.g I just use png and not eps).

e.g If I set to pdflatex mode in an include it should also do that for
the master file when I try to compile the include.

I would love to hear your setup details.

I believe this does it:

    (setq-default TeX-PDF-mode t)

Actually I have set the variable through customize interface and I do
get PDFLaTeX mode by default.

I tried this but when I inspect its value when I open either my include
or the master its nil. I dont have any file local variables that relate
to it either - unless its something auctex has hidden away in its
support files?

This worked for me:-


 (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
 			          (reftex-mode 1)
				  (setq TeX-PDF-mode t)
                                  (TeX-fold-mode 1)))

Setting it once did nothing : the global value was t but the buffer
local was still nil (after restarting emacs). I have no buffer variables
relevant either. I guess I'm missing something obvious?

    I believe this does it:

        (setq-default TeX-PDF-mode t)

    Actually I have set the variable through customize interface and I do
    get PDFLaTeX mode by default.

Thank you both.

You probably have something in your LaTeX files which makes AUCTeX
believe you do not want to use TeX PDF mode, like a `dvips' package
option.

Actually I did have

\usepackage[usenames,dvips]{colortbl}

but thats only so I can get the color names e.g BrickRed and Goldenrod.

Is there another non dvips way to get the same constants?

Have you considered looking into the manual of color.sty?  It mentions
the `dvipsnames' option.

How about svgnames which I think is part of color or xcolor package
options?

Possibly its me being confused by odd naming conventions. Again,
"dvipsnames". The "dvi" bit probably caused me to sweep past it.

As a beginner to latex I find it horrifically difficult at times to
know where to look - but getting there.

cheers,

And in case anyone else has the issue ( which google suggests is
likely!) then I think the correct solution is to enable the pdftex
driver constants like this:-

,----
| \usepackage[pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames]{colortbl}
`----
