Scroll to end of PDF attachment – shortcut?

Hello all,

I usually have my view in BE on Basic – together with the Attachment view selected.
The end-result is the top half of the editor is the list of references, with the bottom half being the display of the pdf.

It often happens that I need to manually autocomplete a journal article, that contains no DOI information.
Furthermore, it's an 'Anonymous' article, being either a Note or Comment out of one of the American Law reviews – so Google Scholar search doesn't (understandably) often pick it up.

As a result – I need to fill in the information myself.

I call up the Reference window by hitting enter, and then "live-scroll" through the PDF view at the bottom of the screen, whilst filling in the details in the floating Reference window.
All of this works perfectly.

My query – in the absence of moving my cursor over to the scroll bars, and pulling down the indicator – in EITHER the PDF bottom window view, OR the PDF attachment view in the floating reference window, are there any keyboard shortcuts for scrolling the pdf all the way down to the bottom?

I need to get right to the end, to verify on what page the article ends. Many of my articles can be as long as 70/80/100 pages, which involves some serious scrolling on the trackpad [1st world problems... :oops: ]

I've tried FN+up/down, as well as a combination of CMD+up/down/left/right, but without success.

Does this mean there is no keyboard option – or am I missing something?

There are no keyboard options for scrolling the PDF. I just grab the elevator control in the scrollbar and drag to the bottom, there's no need to scroll through 100 pages.

Thanks Jon. The wannabe-keyboard-warrior side of me, compels me to confirm if things can be done without the use of the mouse/trackpad. It's no biggie.
