Thanks for the answer!

1. I have changed the path for emacs, which was in fact not in program files.

2; No. I tried, and it says: "xpdf is not recognized as an internal of external
command".
Is it because it is not in my Path? And should I do that?
 Because I have already added "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin" which is supposed
to be xpdf.
