Thank you! Okay, I'm thinking I could create an admin form that is never displayed on the front end. That form can just be used by admins to send a PDF newsletter via a File Upload field. In the "To:" field we can use a shortcode that says "Send an email with the PDF attached to everyone who has checked the box on that other form." But how would I write that shortcode? Thanks, for any help.

Behind every shortcode is PHP code that processes logic and returns values. So you want to have PHP code that loops over all your users, finds the ones that have that box checked, and then returns a comma-separated list of the email addresses. You can see a lot of examples here - https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/php-examples/#kb-shortcodes Alternatively, you can hire a developer to help you with the project https://formidable-masterminds.com/developers-directory/ On a related topic, you might run into issues if you have a lot of recipients, especially if you use BCC vs. To, though that's something you'll have to deal with separately from this.
