For what it's worth, we used some Oxygen icons for the staff client portal page.

Yes, good idea with the quick fix. On a site called Icon Finder, there is a set of PDF icons which meet the Adobe licensing requirement (as far as I understand) and are of professional quality: http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/8890/128/pdf_reader_icon. We could basically use those PNGs as-is. I would vote in favor of that icon over the GNOME one. The icon is part of the Oxygen icon theme, dual-license: http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4.
