 As I test and use the PDF thumbnail preview more (lots of music scores), I
 find myself feeling a little nervous sometimes when I see the thumbnail
 and either think I've uploaded just an image or my PDF has gotten chopped
 off, as there aren't really any indicators about page count or anything
 like that, only hints in the file name/type that it's a PDF.

 I think it'd be great to have some kind of indicator that you are looking
 at a thumbnail preview and not something that's supposed to be a full
 representation of the file you uploaded. Would need to decide which places
 to display this. Hacky example that already made me feel better as a user:
