Also need to sent this file as an attachment with the email to the registered user.

You need to create a custom form field type plugin, please find liferay wiki here Creating Form Field Type. and follow below steps,

  1. Change input type to file in soy file path is

    src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/your-plugin-type-name.soy

  2. Create a fragment of dynamic.data.list.form.web bundle and override display/view.jsp to accept the file i.e. multipart data.
  3. Override AddRecordMVCActionCommand action command to store the selected file as you required.
  4. Build and deploy all 3 plugins

Hope this will help you.
