the doc view mode doesn't work for me on Windows nor OS X. e.g. here's
the error msg when trying to open a pdf inside dired in emacsW32:

No PNG support available or some conversion utility for pdf files is
missing.  Type C-c C-c to switch to fundamental-mode, C-c C-t to show
the doc as text in a separate buffer  or k to kill this buffer.
Error during redisplay: (wrong-type-argument numberp nil)
