Answer 1

Try this code and it definitely works

fs.readFile("E:/syed/nodejs/tasks/mail/mailwithdb/sheet.pdf",function(err,data){
var mailOptions={
from:' <mail@gmail.com>',
to:'mail@gmail.com',
subject:'Sample mail',
text:'Hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!',
attachments:[
{
    'filename':'sheet.pdf',
     'content': data,
     'contentType':'application/pdf'
}]
}
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions,function(err,res){
if(err){
    console.log('Error');
}
else{
console.log('Email Sent');
}
})
});

Try this way...

var mailOptions = {
  from: 'foo@bar.com'.
  to: 'bar@foo.com',
  subject: 'an attached file',
  text: 'check out this attached pdf file',
  attachments: [{
    filename: '<fileName>',
    path: '<PDF file absolute path>'
    contentType: 'application/pdf'
  }]};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (err, info) {
     if(err){
       console.error(err);
       res.send(err);
     }
     else{
       console.log(info);
       res.send(info);
     }
  }
);
