The natural thing to do would be to use paging for instance, to split
it into pages of 20 each or something.
If you want the footer to come at the end of your document, make sure
the DOM node is at the end, and remove the position: absolute from the
css. If the footer isn't at the end of the document, there really
isn't any CSS-way to move it there
