    You can't control what is sent Or received. Every email app will do a different thing. A few will show a PDF in the page. Some will show some kind of PDF. Some will show a generic icon. It's no use trying to find these apps as it is the app for the person receiving the mail that matters. Worse, little pictures pretending to be an attachment are sent with malware attacks, so people are trained to ignore them.

    Just attach the PDF in the usual way. Assume the receiver knows what to do with attachments.
