The 'compile' function accepts any shell command. Just type: M-x compile then, when prompted, enter: texi2pdf myfile.texi If that works for you, you could follow Eli advice, and put the following line, at the top of you file, to define the variable 'compile-command': -*- compile-command: texi2pdf myfile.texi -*- at the top of your file, so that you don't have to enter it manually each time. If you want to do this for every texinfo file, then, you may teach Emacs to configure it for you, using a texinfo mode hook.
