Latexmk not using pdflatex

Question

I have a .tex file which attempts to \includegraphics with a .pdf file.

This is perfectly possible when explicitly running pdflatex but doesn't work with latexmk because latexmk runs with latex and not pdflatex. (This SE answer pointed me to the latex vs. pdflatex problem.)

I'm interested in getting my compilation to work with latexmk because I'm using the Vim plugin vimtex. Is there a way?

It doesn't say anywhere in the answer you link to that latexmk runs with latex rather than pdflatex. But if you run latexmk with the argument -pdf, it should compile with pdflatex. — Sverre, May 11 '15 at 12:05

If you run latexmk with the argument -pdf, it will compile with pdflatex.

In TeXWorks:

On Linux, change the `~/.latexmkrc' file as per this SE answer.
