PDF Report Server

Is possible to the PDF report Server to generate different reports automatically and send it to differrent users email accounts.
For example: I have 4 departments in my company and I want to send every month a report to each department manager about the internet activity of the users in his department. Obviously I want to make this job automatically because it takes too much time.
Thanks for your help.

I think you will need to have 4 different views setup, 1 for each department, and then for each view configure the PDF report generation schedule and email recipients.

I know it sounds a bit repetitious and it would be nicer to be able to define the report generation just once with a parameter specifying the department id and email recipient, but this functionality does not seem to exist.
