Latexmk – How to Set Up Config File to Default to PDF

On Windows, latexmk looks for the file .latexmkrc in the directory specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable. This usually is C:\Users\[user name]\

If you add:

$pdf_mode = 1;

to this file, latexmk will default to create a PDF file.

latexmk splits the xelatex compilation. From the documentation

Latexmk first uses xelatex to make an xdv file, and does all the extra runs needed (including those of bibtex, etc). Only after that does it make the pdf file from the xdv file, using xdvipdfmx.

To get this behaviour the original definition for the variable $xelatex contains the -no-pdf switch:

# xelatex is used to give xdv file, not pdf file
$xelatex = 'xelatex -no-pdf %O %S';

If you want to change the variable you should use the switch too.
