Freeform sharing my appleID?

Question

I do not know if my panic is justified!

I want to give a copy of myFreeform document to somebody. Not collaborative working (shudder!)

I tried to send it by message and on my Mac it generated an icon with my Apple ID embedded.

Two questions ...

When the recipient gets the message ... will they see my icon and the Apple ID? (which is not my public email!)
Will they get a freeform file or some sort of pdf or a link to something online. I want them to have a copy of the actual data ... not links to myself but the ability to take the file as if they had created it.
