Is it possible to change the page down key from acting like a tab in a protected form, to acting as it normally would?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?YmJ5cG9va2lucw==?=,
can only go into an unprotected place in the document (a form field or an
unprotected section). So PageDown can't reliably work as it normally would:
there's every chance that there wouldn't be a valid "target" for it. Therefore,
it goes to the next form field.
Possibly, you could remap the key to a macro that *scrolls* the window. But
things could get awfully confusing if you were to touch the keyboard, or even
click in the wrong place, as the focus in the document wouldn't change with the
scrolling.
