Some other questions: Do your item lists each contain a fixed number of 
items? Is the number of paragraphs constant? Your tables with the same 
number of columns and rows? And the layout of the result have to look like 
it is a filled-in paper form? Where does your "automated generation" get 
its inputs from? A data base?

In general, standard Pandoc supports all these formatting elements listed 
above. You'll just need to generate marked-down text for the elements you 
want, run Pandoc to convert to PDF (needs LaTeX installed) and be done (and 
put your texts into source control). 

You'll have to explain a bit more what exactly you need beyond a "standard" 
Pandoc workflow to achieve your desired results.
