return $mail->Send();

if You dont want to save file to server, you can directly send pdfoutput to email like this 

    require('lib/FPDF/fpdf.php'); 
    require 'lib/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
    $pdf = new FPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
    $pdf->Write(5,'Hello India');

    $mail = new PHPMailer;
    $mail->isSMTP();                                // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = SmtpServer;                       // SMTP server
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                         // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = SmtpUsername;                 // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = SmtpPassword;                 // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                      // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->From = FromEmail;
    $mail->Port = 587;                              // SMTP Port
    $mail->FromName  = 'testing';

    $mail->Subject   = $subject;
    $mail->Body      = $body;
    $mail->AddAddress($emails);
    $mail->addStringAttachment($pdf->Output("S",'OrderDetails.pdf'), 'OrderDetails.pdf', $encoding = 'base64', $type = 'application/pdf');
    return $mail->Send();
