Free option first
A short Apps Script can make one Doc and PDF per row at no cost. See how to generate a PDF or Doc for each row.
{{placeholder}} template from each row and saves Docs, PDFs or both into a Drive folder you choose, writing the output links back to the sheet. It uses narrow, non-restricted scopes only (spreadsheets.currentonly, drive.file, script.container.ui, and script.external_request for the license check), so it cannot browse your whole Drive or read Gmail, and your sheet and document content never leaves your Google account. 14-day free trial with no credit card, then $8/month or $59/year. It is live on the Google Workspace Marketplace.See SheetWeave
