I have made up a talk using Beamer, ending with a pdf.
The problem is that it doesn't page properly when I go
through it with Okular, neither with the presenter I have,
nor with using the PgDn key on the laptop.

This is not enough information to be useful. Describe exactly what you
do, and exactly what happens, and if possible post minimal example of
the problem file.

OK, sorry, I thought a general question was enough. Here then is a mini-example:
\begin{frame}
\begin{center}
\Large Title \vspace{2cm}
\large My Name \end{center}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame 2}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame 2}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame 3}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
When I pdflatex this and use okular to display it, moving up and down
with the Pgup and PgDn, I expect to always move to the whole previous or
next page filling the screen. What I get instead is the page being moved
up or down a bit, so that after a few changes, only half of a given page
is shown, and I have to adjust it with the up- or down-arrows. I used to
get proper page placement but not any longer.
I checked an older pdf of a few years ago, which worked properly at the
time, but it does the same thing.
This means that when I give this talk, I can't stand away from the
laptop with presenter in hand; I have to be close to fiddle with the
arrow keys.
I use Ubuntu and Kubuntu, both do this. If I remember right, the old
file was run under Suse. Is it possible that the Linux variant is responsible?

Thanks. However, since you've now told us:

that wasn't necessary, since it's not a problem with beamer or pdf, but
with okular

Works fine for me on Xubuntu 18.04, using Okular in presentation mode.
What system and screen size are you using?
What is presentation mode? I assume this must be a setting.
