SharePoint 2007: Missing PDF icon

PDF documents uploaded to SharePoint 2007 “Document Libraries” were missing their icon. I configured it in my DEV environment using the references below. It takes a few steps, so this is a task to include when planning a production deployment.

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
