Finally i got the solution to my problem from this post.

I use

emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(pdfPath)));

instead of

emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(pdfPath));

it resolved my issue.

Thanks

I've done this for sending any file from SD card with mail attachment...

Intent sendEmail= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
       sendEmail.setType("rar/image");
       sendEmail.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new        
         File("/mnt/sdcard/download/abc.rar")));
         startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendEmail, "Email:"));
