Well as a uni student, I constantly have .pdf files of course notes etc. For all of these files, I typically have them full screen (with the 'Fit to width' option) to read easily. Personally, if an option cannot be included in the preferences to 'Maximise on open', I would like to see the window open in the same state as the last pdf file when it was closed (when I say last pdf, I mean the last pdf file to be read, not necessarily the same pdf that is currently being read).

I find it an annoyance that for me that virtually every pdf file has to 'opened' with two clicks (1 double-click to open, another to maximise) - it would be much more efficient to adjust the settings on wanted change (rather than from the default). I personally think that people tend to have a single style for of reading pdf files (whether it be maximised or not) - they do not have different settings for every single pdf, so, as mentioned above, if Evince could remember the window settings (maximised/windowed, fit to width/fit to page, etc.) on close, and open the next time with those same settings, it would make life easier.
