I use [https://github.com/parvez/snapshot](https://github.com/parvez/snapshot) because I am cheap and don't want to pay for licensing

Works pretty good

Reporting doesn't support scheduled delivery out of the box. The documentation mentions using Watcher to set up your schedule and send emails. The [Getting Started section of the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/reporting/current/getting-started.html#automating-report-generation) has an example watch formula that should help you get started.

Since Reporting works by simply POSTing to the generation URL, you could also set this up in an external system, taking the PDF payload from the request and then sending that. It's a bit more work though, as you have to set up the email part of it yourself as well, but it's an option.
