Pat,

There is an option in Edit > Save Current Settings as Default that does what you want. You should use it with a PDF without the side pane as you like, so it will turn into the default value. This way, everytime you open a new PDF, the side pane won't be shown. 

However, for PDF that you already have open, it will be opened with the side pane as the last time you viewed the document. You can use the command  gvfs-set-attribute to disable the side pane. For example this command will disable the sidebar from all the .pdf documents in a directory

for i in /path/to/your/documents/*.pdf ; do gvfs-set-attribute $i metadata::evince::sidebar_visibility "0"; done


I hope this helps.

Cheers,
