    Hi Candace,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

    To add a PDF to your reply/autoresponder email, follow these steps:

    1. Go to Settings in Form Builder.
    2. Select Emails on the left panel and click the pencil icon to edit your autoresponder email.
    3. Go to the Advanced tab and enable the PDF attachment option.
    4. Click Save to apply changes.

    This will attach the submission PDF to your autoresponder emails. If you want to include a PDF link instead, you can add the {pdf-link} tag in the email content.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Best regards,
    Jotform Support

    Hi Candace,

    If you've already enabled the PDF attachment in the Advanced tab of your autoresponder email and it's still not working, please check the following:

    1. Ensure your PDF file size is under 5MB, as larger attachments may not be delivered.
    2. Try adding the {pdf-link} tag in the email content as an alternative to attaching the PDF directly.
    3. Verify your form's Privacy settings do not require login to access the PDF link.

    If you are using a HIPAA account, note that PDF attachments are disabled by default and require additional settings.

    Give these a try and see if it resolves the issue.

    Best regards,
    Jotform Support

    Hi Candace,

    When I cloned and tested your form, everything worked the way it was supposed to. Take a look at the screenshot below to see my results:
