Is it really a solution? The OP's problem seems to be that he wants
xpdf to be run, but the above will only replace doc-view-mode with
fundamental-mode, right?

Is it really better to show the actual underlying PDF file's code in
fundamental-mode? If you don't want to view PDF files in Emacs, than
don't open them in Emacs.
