Comment (by cgrymala):

 I would also like to see this updated. As it stands right now, in order to
 use the PDF cover/thumbnail as a Featured Image, we have to download the
 one that WordPress creates automatically (or create our own), and then
 upload it to the media library separately. That means that, for every PDF
 where we need to use the cover as a Featured Image, we're doubling the
 related assets in our media library. It would be much more ideal if we
 could just select the WP-generated image.

 Maybe this could be solved by simply allowing PDFs to be part of the
 "Featured Images" filter, so, instead of having to expose the auto-
 generated image everywhere, there would just be some logic that allows us
 to select PDFs as Featured Images, and uses the associated thumbnail from
 that PDF.
