You can get my build of xpdf-3.04-1 from my personal Cygwin repository:

  http://www.sanibeltranquility.com/cygwin/

There are instructions there.

Be careful what you install.  I have a lot of updated packages there for 
my own use and/or testing.  As far as I know, they all work well.  But 
you might not feel like being a guinea pig.
