Icons are not displayed for Adobe PDF documents that are listed in the search results when you search your portal site in SharePoint
When you search for Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents in SharePoint, the PDF documents are returned in the search results as you expect. However, the icon for each of the PDF documents that are listed in the search results is missing.
Additionally, on the
Specify File Types to Include page of the portal site, the icon that is typically displayed next to the .pdf extension is missing.
This issue may occur if SharePoint is not configured to correctly display the .pdf file extention.
- Copy the .gif file that you want to use for the icon to the following folder on the server, as appropriate for your version of SharePoint:
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 - Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Template\Images
SharePoint Server 2007- Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Template\Image
SharePoint Server 2010 - Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Images
- Stop IIS at a command prompt by running IISReset /stop
- Edit the Docicon.xml file to include the .pdf extension. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Notepad, and then open the Docicon.xml file. The Docicon.xml file is located in one of the following folders on the server:
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 - Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\60\Template\Xml
SharePoint Server 2007- Drive :\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\Template\Xml
SharePoint Server 2010- Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Xml
- Add an entry for the .pdf extension. For example, add a line that is similar to the following to the Docicon.xml file, where NameofIconFile is the name of the .gif file:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="NameofIconFile.gif"/>
- On the File menu, click Save, and then quit Notepad.
- Start IIS at a command prompt by running IISReset /start

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
