Compile .tex files to .pdf as default in gvim with latexsuite plugin

Question

Now I am using the pull-down menus to set :TTarget, :TCTarget, and :TVTarget to pdf.

I also tried setting g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat='pdf' and g:tex_flavor='pdflatex', but neither worked.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Set

let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='pdf, aux'

in your config file for vim (e.g. ~/.vimrc). That works well for me here, using vim 7.3.3 on Arch Linux.
