PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.
apt-get install texlive-latex-base
apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
Once installed as above, you may be able to create PDF files from latex sources using PdfLatex as below.
