Thanks a lot for your fast comment. Sorry for opening a new issue, I found only
these two closed entries with a rather short discussion. Are you referring to
these?

I completely agree that the button 'next page' does indeed exactly does what it
promises, but you have to admit that it is a kind of strange behavior when
having 2 or 3 pages at the same time on the screen :). As a user I want to read
a document and when having finished reading what is on my screen I want to
press a button (1 time) to read more. The exact page positions is imho not very
interesting for the average user, especially since okular is a reading tool and
not one for editing. Is there even a use case when one want to switch to the
next page, but not want to switch the viewport. Neverless I see the dilemma
because a viewport is not a page :)

What about renaming 'Next Page' to 'Next Page(s)' just Next" and let it behave
like page-down?
Or add a second pair of buttons for previous/next viewport?
