binary = pdf

Can you just ignore the Diagnostic if you already attached it?

No - I tried submitting the electronic file and it was rejected  -   just takes me back to this critical diagnostic.

What did you select from the dropdown list for the attachment?

On the EF tab, I selected "attach PDF" and then browsed to where my pdf file was saved.  Then in the "Link to form" I selected Form 8283 Sec B Appraiser Signature Document" and then in the Activity name I selected the applicable donation that I had entered in the 8283 input.

The Diagnostic you quoted says you need to attach the Donee Acknowledgement . This is the 8283 signed by the charity.
