html - Display favicon for PDF files

Question

I am working on a Drupal site with some PDF files where I am opening a PDF file in a new window. The files are getting opened in the browser with the Acrobat Reader plugin but the favicon is not getting displayed. What should be done to show the favicon?

Answer 1

If you put a favicon.ico to the root of your site, then your PDFs opened on that site will actually have that favicon. You can generate transparent ICOs from PNGs with online favicon genereators.

For example, if your favicon is reachable in:

http://example.com/favicon.ico

Then your PDF will show this favicon in the Acrobat plugin tab:

http://example.com/something/something.pdf
