Strange as it may seem, SharePoint does not deal with PDF documents out of the box. So you have to dive into the ‘hive’ to upload an icon for acrobat documents to the images folder. Then hop over to the XML folder and update the DOCICON.XML file. It is a quick and painless process, but sure seems like there should be an automated way of doing this!
Display link with icon (SharePoint)
When working within a SharePoint publishing site, the Edit Content window allows for some really cool WYSIWYG editing.
As well as formatting of styles, fonts, etc, there’s is a quick-click to include a link to a web-page (hyperlink) – or to a document, such as a Word DOCX, or PDF.
This works fine for files such as Microsoft Word, Excel, etc (Office Suite). but other file types will show the default icon (ICGEN.GIF) – which looks pretty crappy. (eg. when the file type is PDF)
But – you can include a custom icon within the SharePoint “hive” and update a config file to show the correct icon.
You could even include some other icon type, basically for ANY file type (extension). Read more at sharepointroot.com
