[OS X Emacs] latex compilation in pdf via ps

[Enrico Franconi]

oops, you're are right. This should be after the load of LaTeX:

(defvar simpdflatex-program
   "simpdftex latex --mode dvips --maxpfb --extratexopts -synctex=1
   --distiller ps2pdf14"
   "PDFLaTeX program via dvips")

(defun simpdflatex-command nil simpdflatex-program)

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
           (lambda nil
             (add-to-list
	     'TeX-expand-list
	     '("%(simpdflatex)"
	       (lambda nil
		 (simpdflatex-command))))
	    (add-to-list
	     'TeX-command-list
	     '("simPDFLaTeX" "%(simpdflatex) %t" TeX-run-TeX nil
	       (latex-mode doctex-mode) :help "Run pLaTeX"))
             (add-to-list
	     'TeX-command-output-list
	     '("simpdftex" ("pdf")))
	    ))

cheers
