Trigger code to auto-create PDF when quote status changes to "Presented"

I'm am trying to make a trigger to auto save pdf when quote status changes to presented 

Also, I have 2 templates - Would I need to specify which one to use?

I found the trigger below online but it's not working. 
Any suggestions?

trigger createQuotePDF on Quote (after update) { List<QuoteDocument> sr = new List<QuoteDocument>(); for (Quote q: Trigger.new) if (q.Status == 'Presented'){ sr.add (new QuoteDocument( QuoteId = q.Id, VersionData = 'someValue')); } insert sr; }

HI Michelle ,

I checked the link with below code mentioned are you getting any issue?
  
trigger createQuotePDF on Quote (after update) {

List<QuoteDocument> sr = new List<QuoteDocument>();
    for (Quote q: Trigger.new)
         if (q.Status == 'Draft'){
                 sr.add (new QuoteDocument(
                 QuoteId = q.Id,
                 document = Blob.toPDF('Your Contents Here')));  
         }
   insert sr;
 }

Thanks!

@veersoni I will try thyis code and keep you posted thanks! Where it says "Your Content Here" Am I supposed to change that to something or leave as is?
@
Abhinav  I used the code but nothing happens when I create/update the quote. The PDF does not get generated.
