How to make it list only files with one extension, like pdf?

You can replace \"%1\" with \"%1\\*.pdf\" as follows:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\4_content-list-pdf\command]
@="cmd /c dir \"%1\\*.pdf\" /b /o:gn 

Note:

A small number of commands follow slightly different rules, FINDSTR, REG and RUNAS all use \ as an escape character instead of ^
