Excluding PDF's

This article walks you through how to not have PDF's attached to your notification e-mails, thank you page and others

You may not always want to include the PDF of your form in your emails and/or Thank You Page.

For example, you may want to let an applicant know that their request has been approved but don't want them to see confidential info which later signers have added. In this case, you could send them a Document Completion notification, but exclude the completed PDF.

Here is what a signature receipt email will look like by default. A link to the form and copy of the PDF are included.

Here is the same with only the log-in link and PDF.

Next, here are areas you might want to remove PDFs from.
