In Spanish, 'please find attached document' can be expressed in several ways, with the default form being Adjunto encontrará el documento.
A formal phrase used in emails to tell the recipient that a file is included with the message.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase Adjunto encontrará el documento literally translates to 'Attached you will find the document'.

Which one should you use?

While Adjunto encontrará el documento is a standard way to phrase this, you may also see Adjunto a este correo le envío el documento or Le envío el documento adjunto in professional contexts. In more informal settings, you can use Aquí tienes el documento adjunto or Te mando el documento adjunto.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

For formal professional emails, use Adjunto encontrará el documento, Adjunto a este correo le envío el documento, Le envío el documento adjunto or the very common and direct Le adjunto el documento. If you are writing to colleagues you know well, you should use informal versions like Te adjunto el documento, Aquí tienes el documento adjunto or Te mando el documento adjunto.

How does it change in a sentence?

The word adjunto functions as an adjective that must agree in gender and number with the document being sent. For example, if the document is feminine, such as la factura (the invoice), you must use the feminine form adjunta (as in Adjunta encontrará la factura). If you are sending multiple files, adjunto must change to the plural form adjuntos to agree with the plural noun (as in Adjuntos encontrará los archivos).
