Personally I would use the function module SSFCOMP_PDF_PREVIEW first to check whether the otf data (job_output_info-otfdata from the FM that called the smartform) will open a correct PDF with the contents of the smartform.

If that works correctly, the problem may be in converting the otfdata and attaching it to the email. For that I generally use the classes cl_bcs & cl_document_bcs (there plenty of examples that can be found on the net).

As far as adding the attachment goes, there is an add_attachment method in the class cl_document_bcs. And for that you'll have to convert the otfdata to either SOLI_TAB or

SOLIX_TAB. You can use FM SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF for that I believe.
