Are you trying to attach the pdf by giving actionmailer the path from the url that generates the pdf (ie /some_controller/some_id/ generate.pdf or similar) ? That sounds very roundabout, and just out of the box you need to give actionmailer a path to an actual file on disk. You'd be far better off invoking the actual pdf generation code from your script.
