You certainly can. PDFs, Spreadsheets, Images are examples of mimetypes. You can control the View of your MiMEType preference by using google.picker.​ViewId. + MiMEType. Example:

  • Adobe PDF files stored in Google Drive is google.picker.​ViewId.PDFS
  • Google Drive photos is google.picker.​ViewId.DOCS_IMAGES Google Drive
  • Documents is google.picker.​ViewId.DOCUMENTS

I played with this and displayed the Folders (in your case, PDFs) using

function createPicker() {
        // Create a view to search Folders.
        var view = new google.picker.View(google.picker.ViewId.FOLDERS);
        // Use DocsUploadView to upload documents to Google Drive.
        var uploadView = new google.picker.DocsUploadView();

        var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder().
            addView(view).
            setAppId(appId).
            setOAuthToken(oauthToken).
            setCallback(pickerCallback).
            build();
        picker.setVisible(true);
    }

For you, use this line instead:

 var view = new google.picker.View( google.picker.​ViewId.PDFS);

I used plain JS for this, it's up to you to implement in Angular.
