I added the following line in the DOCICON.XML file and I get the PDF icon in my document lists, but not in Announcement lists that have a file attached or uploaded as a PDF.

<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl=""/>

PDF attached in announcement list

enter image description here

PDF in Document Library

enter image description here

I am using SharePoint 2010 Standard.

SharePoint doesn't show icons for attachments. Are you doing something to force it to via SharePoint Designer?

I forgot to mention that this is in SharePoint 2010. Screenshot This is out of the box. – Rick Dec 14 '12 at 15:55
Ooo, I thought you were attaching to the item. I tested it out on mine as well and it works: screencast.com/t/dG1j9cWNZ. The path to my image is /_layouts/images/icpdf.png. This is odd since you can see it in the doc library... When did you apply the docicon.xml settings? – David Lozzi Dec 14 '12 at 16:00
I did this a couple of days ago and have reset the IIS a couple times since then. BTW, the image doesn't end in PDF it actually does. I just edited the image and accidently left it out. – Rick Dec 14 '12 at 16:04
what do you mean by "BTW, the image doesn't end in PDF it actually does. I just edited the image and accidently left it out." – David Lozzi Dec 14 '12 at 16:06
I added screenshots of the list and library examples. – Rick Dec 17 '12 at 11:57

It didn't affect the announcement list but made my document lists worse as it showed the broken image. – Rick Dec 17 '12 at 11:53

To clarify, the Value="xxx.gif" should be the actual image name you're using. behrouz's image is named differently than yours. – David Lozzi Dec 17 '12 at 14:31
Obviously, I only changed .png to gif. and restarted the IIS and the ourcome in the anouncment list PDF attachment was the same as I have updated my original question and the document PDF item had a broken image. – Rick Dec 17 '12 at 15:26
you mean you only changed .png to .gif not convert ? you should convert Png to Gif not changing name of file format, but if you converted then i have no idea for solution. – behrouz Dec 17 '12 at 15:46
Well, I converted the 16x16 image from jpg to gif, updated the DOCICON.XML file to reflect the new file and reset the IIS and got the same result as my original post. – Rick Dec 18 '12 at 13:43
