Exactly as you've stated.  latex+dvipdf is the default.  For those
documents where you want to use pdflatex instead, add an entry

    eval: (TeX-PDF-mode 1)

to your master file's file variables section.

Thanks a lot for your answer. It works perfectly if I compile (C-c C-c)
on the master file but it does not if I compile from the non-master files.
Is there something to do for auctex to read the local variables
of the master file ?
