PDF attachments questions

First question:  When I attach PDFs, form 8453 prints out.  I am assuming that this form filed with the return.  I don't also have to send in the attachments, right?

Second question:  When I need to amend a return that had an attached PDF, I am assuming that I should delete the no longer relevant PDF and attach the corrected one in its place.  I am curious if other PDFs should remain?

1. Form 8453 (with the required forms or supporting documents) must be mailed to the IRS within three business days after receiving acknowledgement that the return was accepted. An electronically-transmitted return will not be considered complete until a Form 8453 is received by the IRS.

2. Delete no longer used pdfs on the amended return.

Really? Wow! So, what is the point of attaching pdfs if I have to print them out and send anyway?

One was a 1200+ page Brokerage document with lots of wash sale loss. Do I need to print out all sheets, or would a summary be enough?
