Looks like you are trying to attach the pdf automatically without an additional click of button and hence it looks like you have tried apex:page action method. But the order of action method , getter and setter methods on a page is not gauranteed. I believe thats corrupting your generated attachment.Could you try jquery document.ready event instead and call the AttachAgreement() controller method via an actionFunction.This ensures the pdf content you are trying to attach is completely loaded before you attach it to the record.
Please mark this answer if this resolved your issue.
