    I get an error message stating "Unauthorized!"  I was able to do this with one form but no other ones.  I will be in appts until 12pm CST.  


    I've am unable to attach the PDF that I actually created with your website that didn't save in the account but I fortunately did save on my desktop and could send you.


    My website where I want the form located is given below (but doubtful that you need this although you can see that it did work for the NPP/HIPAA consent form).

    Are you trying to attach a PDF file to your autoresponder or notification?

    Where exactly do you get the "Unauthorized!" error?

    If possible, please provide a link to your PDF file, so we can check it and better understand your concern.

    We will wait for your response.

    There is no way for me to attach the PDF.
