Sure! `:pdf-process' simply applies a local value to
org-latex-pdf-process. It does not affect the export to png in its
version without imagemagick process, since this option depends on
org-create-formula-image, which in turn depends on
org-preview-latex-default-process. It also does not affect the export to
html, which depends on org-babel-latex-htlatex. It should work in all
other cases, including imagemagick, which ultimately depend on
org-latex-pdf-process.

As for `:full-to-pdf' (I don't know if standalone-to-pdf would be a
better name), the expected result is a pdf file. Therefore it is
incompatible with exporting to png, svg or conversion with imagemagick.
For it to work, it is enough to provide these 2 args: ":file foo.pdf
:full-to-pdf yes."
