How do I add the .pdf file type to Sharepoint Server 2003? Where would I get the file to register and then how do I go about activating it?
Thanks

You can download and install the Adobe PDF iFilter from the website of Adobe.

You can associate the file extensions with their icons editing the file docicon.xml in c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\60\template\xml.

Not what I read "where do I get a .gif" to mean, but with our two answers combined he should be OK <grin>
P.S. My gif is a bit big. That's the way Adobe have it. There used to be a set of gifs on the web including a smaller one for pdf files (and one for zips etc) but that site is long gone.

I put both of your answers together, but you all forgot to mention to restart IIS, in order for the change to initialize.
Thanks

That, as they say, was "obvious" (grin)
Glad you got it working anyway despite our "lapse".
