# What is the expected behaviour?

Click a link (toward the last page) should take the user to the precise position without being limited by scroll.

# Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Click a link which leads you to the lower position of the last page of the PDF.
2. The poison will not be reached because pdf.js cannot let the user scroll beyond the last page.

# Scenario

In most academic papers, the last page will be references & bibliographies. A user can click the citations on articles to jump to them. Mostly they work, but they cannot reach links at the bottom of the page. Scanning by eyes is annoying and maybe disrupts the simple jump ↔ jump back.
Configuration:

# Sample pdf with links at the end of the page, it is open access:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3386330

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I also reported same bug to pdf.js https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/14838

I disagree.

Besides Okular doesn't use pdf.js
