Pagedly

A Word-style paged rich-text editor for React. Multi-page layout that reflows like Microsoft Word — page boundaries appear as you type, content flows onto the next page, and the printed output matches the editing view.

What it does

Most rich-text editors give you a continuous scroll. Tools that look paginated usually draw page-break lines on top of that scroll — the breaks are decorative, and the real page layout only happens later, in a separate export step. Pagedly is different: you type directly onto the real, reflowing page. The thing on screen is the page, not a guide layer floating above a different document.

Pagedly gives you real pages:

  • Word-level reflow at page boundaries — type past the bottom of a page and the words slide onto the next sheet, mid-paragraph, mid-sentence. The caret stays with your text across the reflow.
  • The edit surface looks like the print surface. What you see on screen is what comes out of the printer.
  • Print to A4 (or save to PDF via the browser print dialog) with letterhead, signature, and attachment chrome injected at print time.
  • In-document find / replace with all matches highlighted at once.
  • Toolbar with bold / italic / underline / lists / alignment / quote, font family (system + 14 Google fonts loaded on demand), font size, text + highlight colors, links, images (auto-downscaled), tables, manual page breaks.
  • Cross-browser: Chromium and WebKit verified, Playwright e2e suite ships with the package.

Use cases

  • Letter generators (HR, legal, finance) — the original problem we built this for.
  • Contract editors with named sections and per-section persistence.
  • Report builders where the print layout has to match the edit view exactly.
  • Any product where "this is a document, not a feed" matters.

How it works

Pagedly drops into any React app — Vite, Next.js (App Router or Pages Router), Remix, CRA, Astro React islands, TanStack Start. The editor renders client-side; in Next.js App Router you import it inside a "use client" component.

"use client";
import { LetterEditor, type LetterDraft } from "pagedly";
import "pagedly/styles.css";

export function MyLetter() {
  const [draft, setDraft] = useState<LetterDraft>(/* ... */);
  return <LetterEditor draft={draft} onDraftChange={setDraft} />;
}

Full API documentation ships with the package.
