Note that you'll probably want to create a new form (instead of Contact Us) and leave out the typical fields (First Name, Last Name, etc.) in lieu of just an Email field (to receive the emailed report).
I would also suggest creating a new "user notification" template that you can use to improve the user notification email.

The following "hidden fields" will need to be created in FreeForm and associated with the "Form" of choice.
Also notice how we're intentionally excluding hidden fields on freeform_pdf_press.html line 10.
A "file_upload" field needs to be created in Freeform as well which will be used to store and reference the PDF that is generated. You can name this field anything you like, e.g. "report". Once you've created this field, you just need to specify that name in the "pdf_press_upload_fieldname" hidden form field.
Note that whatever fieldname that you specify for: <input type="hidden" name="pdf_press_upload_fieldname" value="" />
...that it will be used to determine where the PDF files will be stored.
I suggest that you create a new file upload location specific for these PDFs. I also suggest creating a cron to wipe out old reports. The following formula is used to create reports:
custom-report-date(YmdHis)-(randomnumbers).pdf
A cron could therefore be written to remove all PDFs older than 30 days by utilizing PHP date() methods and wildcard operators like "*": e.g. $ rm custom-report-20161226* . which would remove all PDFs generated on 2016-12-26
Future improvements can be made to the add-on where-as the generated PDFs are not stored on the server; however, it may come in handy being able to view the generated PDFs via the Freeform backend.
