It would be great if PDF attachments could be seen as an image in the pop-up rather than just showing the Adobe icon.

I understand that PDFs can be multi page documents, but just showing the first page would be better than the simple icon.

We have an app that shows building information in the pop-ups.  We like to have a photo of the building along with the floor plans included.  The photo shows up just fine in the Gallery, but the floor plans are PDFs and the shown Adobe icon is easy to miss by some users.  It would really be helpful to have a sample of the PDF shown as an image.

Just as a heads up we currently block opening the pdfs through attachments and require download for security reasons. To learn more about this you can check out Randals response here

I can understand that; I forgot about that risk.  Hope someone finds a solution that we can all live with soon.

Thanks.
