Considering the title of your mail referred to cron job, I presume you want
this to happen automatically at certain time intervals.
GnuCash is a GUI program in the first place. As such it doesn't have any
graphical user interfaces to install such automated periodic actions.
You could look into the python bindings though and see if they allow you to
programmatically do what you want to do. Only a small part will be GnuCash
related (generating the report, printing to pdf), the other steps are more
generic. I don't what the python bindings are capable of, so I don't know if
it will be sufficient in this case, but that's the only option I see right
now.
