I guess that is provided by the wps-office aur package ?

It depends on what you want, personally I prefer separate programs.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PDF,_PS_and_DjVu should give you an idea of what is available

Re: Recommendations for PDF viewer

As Lone_Wolf suggested, "best" is very subjective, and depends on the purpose.

For most, I guess evince/atril shall be good enough.
If you can work with minimal keyboard oriented viewer, mupdf-gl is v.good, loads faster with large pdf files compared to most other viewers.
If text highlighting is required look at xournalpp.
