Comment (by simonrcodrington):

 I've been looking at this in several of my own projects. It's a bit
 jarring to see a wall of default images used for PDF documents. It should
 be relatively easy to generate a thumbnail / sample image using Imagick or
 similar so that users can see at a glace what this file is. I'd prefer any
 type of image regardless of how it's cropped, so long as you can get a
 feel for what type of file is being displayed.

 If we can't / don't want to add a preview thumbnail image, it would be
 good to have a large preview image displayed when you click on the
 document itself (when it opens in the media attachment lightbox, where it
 shows you it's metadata).

 How likely is it that this will be followed up in 4.7? I'm happy to try a
 pull together a simple solution if needed.

 Cheers
