Did you install as Community bundle or as WAR/ Tomcat install under a WAMP stack?
I see you seem to have pdf2swf installed - as part of swftools?
Check that alfresco-global.properties file includes the lines

swf.exe=/usr/bin/pdf2swf‍

- the above lines are for Linux, change this so that it points to where pdf2swf is located in your windows os.

You should check alfresco.log file. There should be useful information in it.
If you can preview OpenOffice documents but not PDF, there might be an probleme with the PDF file. Did you try many PDFs from various sources ?

Try converting a Word file into PDF with OpenOffice, import that PDF file to Alfresco and check if you can preview it.
