Image Control Equals Visible if File Extension within is PDF

I am having the worst time trying to get a preview image of any pdf files to show in the same Gallery Image Control as the 'image' files (jpg, png, bmp) in the same library.

Consequently, I've determined to try another route.

Intent:

1. I have a pdf icon image that I'm going to place in a second image control in the Gallery.

2. I'll overlay the image controls

3. If the file is an image the original control appears with the file preview in it

4. If the file is a pdf the new image control (with the pdf symbol) should appear in it

5. I'd like to do this by file extension, if possible. Is there a way to write a condition that says -

'if Image2.Image file extension = .pdf then visible 'true' else 'false'?

I found this sort condition that uses a similar process; my guess is its possible in some form or fashion, based on the below?

SortByColumns( Filter( ProdDocsStructure, Project = projectCode, DefaultFolder = selectedFolder, ParentItem = idParentItem, EndsWith('File name with extension', "pdf")

If you're using a Sharepoint library and the Image is within a gallery then something like this should work within the within the Image property of the image:

If(EndsWith(ThisItem.'File name with extension', ".pdf"), SampleImage, ThisItem.Thumbnail.Large)

I understand.

One twist; the Gallery is getting data from the CQList. The Image Control within the same Gallery is getting the image from the Library based on the below.

With({_common: ThisItem.CQYr & " " & ThisItem.UnqID & " " & ThisItem.CQTitle & " " & ThisItem.FrstNm & " " & ThisItem.LstNm}, Coalesce( LookUp(CQImageCollection, StartsWith(Title, _common & " " & ThisItem.DteofCQ)), LookUp(CQImageCollection, StartsWith(Title, _common)) ) ).'Link to item'

Is there a way to edit the above for the Image2 control so that control only displays an image if the 'Title' contains "pdf"?
