I agree that pdf is important. For one thing it is one of those few things that will survive email pretty much unscathed by antivirus software and it is pretty universal at this point so it is very likely you will be receiving images in that format via email, etc. The good news is that most scanner will output files in that format and there are a lot of programs that allow you to print anything to a pdf file "printer", and they are not all proprietary.

The issue will be the generation of thumbnails, and also the display of the .pdf documents. Are you going to host the .pdf viewer in your application? It seems that would also make deployment more difficult. Why would this be better to do than just having a graphic image of the document?
