I assume you have already a TeX installation (e'g. Miktex)

Then use the emacs+auctex bundle, see
http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/

and 
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/emacs+auctex-w32-2007-01-26.zip

In auctex it is a matter of doing

C-c C-c Latex PDF

instead of 

C-c C-c Latex

(and there is tab completion, so you don't need to type all of
this). I guess you can also set it up to always use latex pdf instead
of just latex, read the auctex documentation.

Highly recommended.
