I'm trying out this:
import processing.pdf.*;

import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
Icon icon;

void setup(){
size(100,100,PDF,"test.pdf");
FileSystemView view = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();      
icon = view.getSystemIcon(new File(dataPath("pdf.png")));
}
void draw()
{
icon.paintIcon(this,this.getGraphics(), 10,10);
exit();
}


But it doesn't work.. any ideas?

thanks

Thanks, got it working!

Fully working code for fetching your operating systems file icon as a PImage:

Code:

import processing.pdf.*;
 
import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
PImage icon;
int bg;

// PDF TEST
void setup(){
  size(100,100,PDF,"test.pdf");
  bg = color(255);
  icon = getIcon(new File(dataPath("file.pdf")));
}
void draw()
{
  background(bg);
  image(icon,0,0);
  println("Done");
  exit();
} 

// Fetch filesystem icon
PImage getIcon(File file)
{
  int w = 16, h = 16;
  BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);  
  for(int i = 0; i < w; i++){
    for(int j = 0; j < h; j++){
	img.setRGB(i,j,color(0,0)); // alpha
    }
  }
  FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(file).paintIcon(null,img.getGraphics(), 0,0);
  PImage ret = new PImage(w,h,ARGB);
  for(int i = 0; i < w; i++){
    for(int j = 0; j < h; j++){
	int c = img.getRGB(i,j);
	if(c == color(0,0)){
	  // seems alpha doesn't work in pdf, so i set the color to the same as the background
	  ret.set(i,j,color(red(bg),green(bg),blue(bg),0));
	}else{
	  ret.set(i,j,img.getRGB(i,j));
	}
    }
  }
  return ret;  
}
