I attach a number of PDF files to sources, but also when possible include the text contained or related to that PDF that way I don't have to keep opening an external file. Another alternative, if available to you, is to convert PDF files to JPG's if it doesn't contain a lot of pages. I just choose relevant pages for that source then convert them to JPGs. Just a suggestion.

If you look at Windows file explorer, at a folder with mixed jpg and pdf files, and you have in Thumbnail view, you’ll see thumbnails of the jpg files but just a big icon for the pdf files. The only place I can remember seeing thumbnails of pdf files is in Paperport. So it is possible, but they may be using proprietary software to do it. From: robs_familytree .

Since Legacy can read PDFs, why do we only get to see the standard "document clipart" in Source Media, instead of a smaller version of the document like we can with jpgs and other pictures? Just curious, Thanks!
