#  Attach the Submission PDF to Emails

If you use the Convert Forms [PDF Generator](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/features/pdf-form-submissions), you can attach the generated submission PDF to any email your form sends, perfect for receipts, registrations, or sending users a tidy copy of their answers. It takes a single Smart Tag in the Email Task's **Attachments** option.

## [Attach the Submission PDF](#attach-the-submission-pdf)

To attach the generated PDF to your email, follow the steps below:

1. Go to **Components → Convert Forms → Forms** and edit your form.
2. Open the **Tasks** panel and create a new Email Task (or edit an existing one). Set the **Trigger** to **New Submission** and the **Action** to **Send an Email**.
3. In the **Attachments** option, add the submission PDF Smart Tag: `{submission.pdf}`

4. Fill in the rest of the email as usual, give the task a title, enable it, and click **Save**. Save the form.

On the next submission, the generated PDF is attached to the outgoing email automatically.

## [Attach the PDF Alongside Other Files](#attach-the-pdf-alongside-other-files)

The **Attachments** option accepts several files separated by commas, so you can send the PDF together with uploaded files or static files from your site:

`{submission.pdf}, {field.upload1}, images/terms.pdf`

- `{submission.pdf}` : the generated submission PDF.
- `{field.upload1}` : a file the user uploaded through a [File Upload](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/fields/file-upload) field.
- `images/terms.pdf` : any static file, given as a path relative to the root of your webspace.

See [Attach Files to Emails](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/email-notifications/auto-responder-emails#attach-files-to-emails) for more on attachments in general.

## [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)

- **No PDF is attached.** Confirm the PDF feature is enabled and configured for this form, so a PDF is generated on submission. Without it, `{submission.pdf}` has nothing to attach.
- **The email didn't send at all.** A missing or unreadable attachment path can cause an Email Task to fail. Verify every path in **Attachments**, then see [Troubleshooting Email Delivery](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/email-notifications/troubleshooting-email-delivery).
