Xorg is not a package that includes other packages, such as some 
operating systems.  By that I mean, if you get Xorg as such by that 
name, it's not going to include other tools (such as the excellent 
xpdf).  The only way you'g get xpdf with Xorg is if you got Xorg in a 
package of something like KDE, where packaging in other tools IS very 
likely.
