function my_attach_autoreply_file(PHPMailer $mailer, $form, $attachments)
{
    $mailer->AddAttachment(ABSPATH . '/Document.pdf', 'Document.pdf', 'base64', 'application/pdf'); 
    return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_autoreply_email_1', 'my_attach_autoreply_file', 10, 3);

function my_attach_autoreply_file(PHPMailer $mailer, $form, $attachments)
{
    $mailer->AddAttachment(ABSPATH . '/Document.pdf', 'Document.pdf', 'base64', 'application/pdf');

    return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_autoreply_email_1', 'my_attach_autoreply_file', 10, 3);

Modify the code as follows:

• On line 3, change ABSPATH . '/Document.pdf' to the absolute path of the file you want to attach, the current code will attach the file Document.pdf inside the WordPress root directory.
• On line 3, change Document.pdf to the desired name of the file that will be shown to the user as the attachment filename
• On line 3, change application/pdf to the MIME type of the file, you can find the MIME type on this page
• On line 7, change the number 1 to the form ID
