I want to generate the pdf of the record after save.

Once the user saves the record, it must be saved as pdf and it should be mailed as an attachment to the record owner.

</messaging:htmlEmailBody>
<messaging:attachment renderAs="PDF">
    <html>
    <head/>
    <body>

Hi Arvind
you can acheive it by using trigger as well.Here is the code ,its working fine at my org. 
trigger Generatepdf_ASE_after_insert on ASE__c (after insert) 
{
 List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();

	for(ASE__c acc : trigger.new)
	{    
    Messaging.EmailFileAttachment attach = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
    ASE__c accname=[select name from ASE__c where id=:acc.Id];
    attach.setContentType('application/pdf');
    attach.setFileName('Account Record');
    String body;
    body = '<html><body><h1 style=\"text-align:center;\">Employee Information</h1><br/><br/><table align=\"center\"><tr><td>Employee Name</td><td>' + accname.Name + '</td></tr><tr><td>Age</td><td></td></tr></table></body></html>';
    System.debug('HTML is ' + body);

    attach.Body = Blob.toPDF(body);

    Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
    mail.setToAddresses(new String[] { 'nitin_agrawal@dell.com' });
    mail.setSubject('PDF Generation');
    mail.setHtmlBody('PFA');
    mail.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] { attach });     

    mails.add(mail);  
}
if(!mails.isEmpty())
{
    Messaging.SendEmail(mails);
}
}

Thanks :)
