Hi Niki,

Please try these line of code as it may help you

Create a button in your VF page and call this method on "onClick of that button".

put this method in your controller.
  
public static void sendPDf() {

    PageReference pageRef = ApexPages.currentPage();
    Blob pdf1 = pageRef.getcontentAsPdf();
    Attachment d = new Attachment();
    d.ParentId = UserInfo.getUserId(); //you can also set the Id of the record in which you want to save this pdf attachment
    d.Body = Pdf1;
    d.Name = 'pdf_file.pdf';
    d.ContentType = 'application/pdf';
    insert d;


    Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
    efa.setFileName('Confirmation of product.PDf');
    efa.setBody(pdf1);
    List < String > listEmailMembers = new List < String > ();
    listEmailMembers.add(Email); // add Email of the members.
    emailTobeSent.setToAddresses(listEmailMembers);
    emailTobeSent.setSubject('Confirmation of product');
    emailTobeSent.setHtmlBody('Hi');
    emailTobeSent.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] {
        efa
    }); // Sends the email
    Messaging.SendEmailResult[] r1 = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {
        emailTobeSent
    });
}
