A single-page .pdf file will automatically display in place when attached to an email.

If you control-click (or right-click) the displayed file and select "View as Icon" it will be reduced and you can then easily drag/drop it into a preferred location in your Mail text if necessary.


Multi-page .pdf files do not display in this manner.
