AUCTeX provides a major mode for editing LaTeX file. Normally, you
can generate both dvi files and pdf files from a LaTeX source file.
AUCTeX provides a minor mode that lets you select the output format.
You can customize this minor mode to a default that reflects your
preferred output format.
It doesn't seem right to put that in a file's local variables list.
This is a personal preference issue.
