SharePoint 2007: Missing PDF icon

The PDF icon was missing when PDF documents were uploaded to “Document Libraries” in SharePoint 2007. Adding it takes a few steps and is a task to include when planning a production deployment. I ran these steps in my DEV environment.

The following references explain how to configure this in SharePoint 2007:

• Icons are not displayed for Adobe PDF documents that are listed in the search results when you search your portal site in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or in SharePoint Server 2007
• SharePoint 2007 and Adobe PDF
