I've only looked at AlivePDF briefly, but like the Flex print job, you can point it at a component you want added to the PDF. So I would imagine you'd create a separate "print layout view" that you may or may not make visible to the user. And pagination is up to you.
By the way, I believe that with AlivePDF and Flash Player 10, you'll be able to generate the PDF without the round trip to the server.
