Answer 1

You will need the following:

1. A visualforce page which is rendered as PDF (I believe you already have it)
2. Create a new VF Page and a Controller. The Controller will do a getContentAsPDF for your PDF page. The blob that it gets from the PDF page, it will store it as an Attachment under the record.
3. Add a button on your object which will the call the VF page in point 2.
