In Finder's preferences, you can set it to hide the extensions.

But that's a Bad Idea...

Consider - what's the difference between these two files:

Report-1.pdf

Report-1.app

If you've hidden the extensions, or removed them, then you may not be 
able to tell which file is the pdf and which is the application, 
especially if the icon has been pasted.  That is EXACTLY how trojans 
work!!...
