try the following
DECLARE
   vinhandle   UTL_FILE.file_type;
   rfile       RAW (32767);           --change the size accordingly
   flen        NUMBER;
   bsize       NUMBER;
   ex          BOOLEAN;
   vrec        VARCHAR2 (30)      := '[email protected]';     --receipant email id
   vsender     VARCHAR2 (30)      := '[email protected]';        --sender's email id
   vsubj       VARCHAR2 (50)      := 'Subject Message';       --subject 
   vmesg       VARCHAR2 (4000);
   vmtype      VARCHAR2 (30)      := 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii';
BEGIN
   vmesg := 'Please find the file attachment';                 --Message
   UTL_FILE.fgetattr ('CTEMP', 'filename.pdf', ex, flen, bsize);--CTEMP is the directory of file location
   vinhandle := UTL_FILE.fopen ('CTEMP', 'filename.pdf', 'R');  --filename.pdf is the name of the file
   UTL_FILE.get_raw (vinhandle, rfile, flen);
   UTL_FILE.fclose (vinhandle);
   utl_mail.send_attach_raw (sender            => vsender,
                             recipients        => vrec,
                             subject           => vsubj,
                             MESSAGE           => vmesg,
                             attachment        => rfile,
                             att_inline        => FALSE,
                             att_filename      => 'filename.pdf'
END;       HTH
