I can help add pdf preview support, if no one is working on it.

Here's the idea.

Hack ranger-preview-buffer.
Add a condition for pdf files.
In that condition, generate a cache image that shows the first page of the pdf by running pdftoppm -f 1 -l 1 -scale-to-x 600 -scale-to-y -1 -singlefile -jpeg -tiffcompression jpeg -- "/path/to/pdf.pdf" "/tmp/cache.jpeg". (Code taken from here)
Preview that image.
