If your farm has been bound to Office Web Application Server, then you already got nice preview functions for such office document like DOCX, XLSX and PPTX:
By default you do not have the same function for PDF files.
You also may find good articles about how to get this behavior for PDF. For example, here is an article about how to configure PDF preview in libraries: http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-pdf-previews-in-document-libraries-with-office-web-apps-2013. And here – about preview in search results: http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-pdf-previews-with-office-web-apps-2013-march-2013-update.
The last one supposes that you need to manually copy search result type in each site collection where search results are rendered (all site collections potentially).
All these configurations are quite boring and may lead to mistakes. Here is the script that does configuration automatically:
