Because you did not read the TXNG documentation? The documentation states
clearly that you must have the related converters installed (the docs
documents the converts including their sources) + they have to be installed
in the $PATH so they can be started from with Zope.

see above

because the pdftotext converter is installed and could be found by TXNG.

Why should the installatation of your Windows box be the same as your Linux
box?

This question really makes no sense to me. The reasons are obvious (see
above) and the solution is straight forward (see above): installed the
required converters and make them available through $PATH as requested and
documented.
