In simple, you cannot create pdf from a trigger. getContentAsPDF() cannot be used in Triggers, Schedule and batch apex..
Please refer this : https://www.salesforce.com/docs/developer/pages/Content/apex_System_PageReference_getContentAsPDF.htm

How to acheive this?Here i have a more requirement in that i have 3 vf pdf doc. I need to add 3 pdf's at the time of insertion of record using trigger?
Any help will be Aprreciable!!
You can call webservice from a trigger and add the attchment creation logic in the webservice.
Refer this : https://jungleeforce.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/generate-a-pdf-and-attach-it-to-record-from-a-trigger-in-salesforce-restful/
Is their any way without writing the webServices?
Thanks,
