I considered this, but it doesn't really have to look like all the other 
icons since the generated thumbnail itself looks different than the 
themed document "sheets" in icons.

Obviously, the loopy Adobe icon worked well because it didn't have 
anything that mattered with theme, it was more subtle. But just the 
letters "PDF" seem fairly generic and theme independent too. I think 
this works, at least, as you say, for the time being.

It would be interesting if Nautilus could use a themable set of overlays 
to put over thumbnails of PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, etc... wouldn't even be 
that hard to implement...
