When I use org mode in emacs to export to latex and pdf file I have a problem. When I export to latex file, it's OK. but when I process latex file to export PDF file, I have this error:

Process completed with errors: [undefined control sequence] [LaTeX error]

Please tell me, how I can fix it.

You have to look at the .log file, if any, in the same directory (where the LaTeX compilation occurred).

Best (IMHO) is to compile the TeX file directly (using AUCTeX, if within Emacs), and to have a finer control on what's going wrong in the LaTeX route.

In Emacs 24 (maybe even in earlier versions) there is variable called org-latex-remove-logfiles, by default it is set to on, toggle it to off and latex will keep the log files.

To get to it, in Emacs do

M-x RET customize-variable RET org-latex-remove-logfiles
