Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
When creating PDFs with OpenOffice, I have a need to test them to make sure that when the PDF opens, it opens on the page I specified, and with the view optins I specified. Evince scotches my efforts at testing new PDFs because it remembers the last page/view configuration I used for that document, even if it has been overwritten in the meantime.
Can I suggest that if a PDF file has changed, Evince should 'forget' its view settings for that file, and reset them to the settings specified in the file itself.
Either that, or a new command-line option should be added telling Evince not to use its 'memory' for previously-seen file.
