Display Icon for Adobe PDF documents

We can see icons for the Ms Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but not for the PDF document in SharePoint.
Because this is an adobe product and not Microsoft. But yes we can easily show the icon for the PDF file.

Here given SC 13 No ID Record i have uploaded .pdf file but that not shows Icon.

  1.  First download a PDF icon on size. You can choose your own icon or can take it from here: 
     2.   Copy the image file that you want to use for the icon to the following folder on the server 

SharePoint Server 2010 - Drive: \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Images

     3. Now go to following Path.

SharePoint Server 2010- Drive: \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\Template\Xml\DOCICON.XML

Edit this file 


   4. Now do an IISReset. Now Output will be as follow,
