How do I send a PDF summary to the submitter?
### Custom PDFs

You can attach two kinds of submission PDFs to outgoing emails. The first is a default summary that is available on all plans, which cannot be modified. The second kind is a [Custom PDF](https://paperform.co/help/articles/custom-pdfs/), which can be created under "After Submission → Custom PDFs". Please note that this feature is exclusively available with specific [pricing plans.](https://paperform.co/pricing/)

To attach either kind of PDF summary, simply select it from the "Attach Custom PDFs" dropdown when [setting up a custom email](https://paperform.co/help/articles/send-an-email-when-the-form-is-submitted/).

In either case, the PDFs listed here are dynamic documents that are generated on form submission. If you'd like to attach a static PDF (that will be the same for each submission), you can use the "ADD ATTACHMENT" button instead and upload the file directly from your computer.
