Options depend on how complex/'interactive' you need your generated PDF to be, and how 'turn-key' of a solution your technical abilities would require.

If you already know (or are comfortable learning) basic computer scripting, then one group of tools that may be worth considering is "Report Generation" software. "Based on a set of inputs, configure a specific output".

An example of an Open Source option from such tools is: carbone.io/
[Have not used this one personally, but their site gives a bit of an idea of what could be done.]

You would define keywords/segments/paragraphs/pages with clear identifiers, which get combined based on a group of input settings to produce a generated output based on your specifications at the other end.

Such software can be used for something as simple as "If stakeholder_class = X, print Page_Y", through "If stakeholder_gender = X, use Pronoun_X", to "If [list of conditions met in some way], use paragraph1_subversionB on page 23".
