"gio remove" will get rid of the file's entry in the "Recent Documents" screen, but when I go ahead and open it again, evince behaves the same faulty way.The per-file settings are stored as GVFS metadata. You can view them with `gio info file.pdf`. You can delete the settings with for example `gio set -t unset file.pdf metadata::evince::page`. I don't think there's a simple way to unset them all at once, but you could unset any that look problematic or create a script that unsets each one.
The problematic ones could be: metadata::evince::window_height metadata::evince::window_width metadata::evince::window_x metadata::evince::window_y May you share the output of: $ gio info file.pdf | grep evince ? -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
