Comment (by folletto):

 Excellent point. Question: is there any way we can determine the number of
 pages of the PDF programmatically?
 I'm asking because I feel the ideal UI would be that for any PDF with more
 than one page should have the indicator, and the indicator could be a
 confirmation of the number of pages, which gives two informations at once:
 the safety of what has been uploaded, and an indicator of the total pages.

 Assuming the above is possible, brainstorming:

 1. A "pages" indicator, either just textual or visual or a mix of the two
 2. Change some of the texts, like instead of "Attachment Details" "Multi-
 Page Attachment Details"
 3. Just a text as you referred for all the filetypes that are "more" than
 the thumbnail.

 Slightly related: I feel the image should be centered in the area — both
 vertically and horizontally, at the very least horizontally centered. That
 would make any contextual text better grouped with the thumbnail as it
 would align to it instead of the frame borders.
