PDF icon with SharePoint

SharePoint doesn't not come with a default PDF icon.

I have explained here how to install pdf Icon.

  • right click to download image
  • save icon to (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\template\images) and rename the file to icpdf.gif
  • open the file docicon.xml you should find
  • it here : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\template\xml\docicon.xml
  • Simply add this mapping key
  • save the file docicon.xml then restart IIS do not force.

wow now you can see the pdf icon represents pdf docs in your portal.
