According to this post, \pagebreak will end the current page and the paragraphs on the cut page will spread out over the page. However, when I tried this functionality, it does not seem to be working, am I missing something? The following is an MWE.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document} 
  paragraph 1

  paragraph 2

  paragraph 3
\pagebreak 

  paragraph 4
\end{document}

    Try adding \flushbottom in the preamble (or switch to \documentclass[twoside]{article}). – GuM May 03 '17 at 23:04

The article class sets \raggedbottom (unless it is loaded with either the twoside or the twocolumn option). If you add \flushbottom before \begin{document} you get the spreading (and an “Underfull \vbox” warning).
