Body: <p>We currently use CiviEvent extensively for online courses. When a person completes a course, we're able to use our certificate template to print out tokenized PDFs and then send those to the participants via other mailing means (Outlook, etc.). Is there a way to simultaneously print said PDF and send it via an attachment to the participant through CiviMail to cut down on staff time?</p>

Comments.Text: @ParvezSaleh 5 years later... can we do this? How would you generate that link that (creates and) lets them download their PDF? Also wonder if https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/pdfapi/-/tree/master/ is part of a solution
