Hi Dwarka,

When pasting content from MS Word to RadEditor, the MS Word program and the browser transform the Word content to HTML and paste it in RadEditor. Please note that RadEditor does take part of the conversion process and it does not modify the pasted content (except if you choose to strip the Word formatting).

The HTML content pasted in the editor is just a simple string that is rendered in Design mode. This string  does not have height, and it could not be divided on pages as the Word and PDF documents.

To export the HTML content to PDF, RadEditor uses a free third party HTML to PDF exporter tool and this tool decides how to export the content in the PDF document. We do not have control over the this process too.
