(1) this might be a better question for the texhax mailing list, as it 
is not directly a texworks question, but rather a LaTeX one

(2) provide a minimal example instead of a sniplet, then it is a lot 
easier to figure out what you are doing.

(3) paste the exact error

(4) if possible, can others test the included pdf?

(5) is the PDF in your working directory? if it is don't give a full 
path, some installations will not accept full paths
