How to prevent PDF from opening on previously-viewed page?
When I open a PDF it goes to the page that I last visited.
How can I prevent this so that whenever I open a PDF it goes to page 1?
I am using Document Viewer 3.4.0 and Okular 0.14.3.
Thanks!

Hunt through the options, it is there, honest!

Where? I couldn't find it. I just checked Okular.

@fleamour, I too didn't find the option but this is with Evince 3.10 (the one in 13.10).

Hmmmm, sorry, now I'm at my PC, I stand corrected. I used to seek out the open last page option, but now somewhere along the line it has become default.

This is probably not possible according to link below. I also did not find any setting in dconf-editor. Obviously, there is no such setting in application itself (Evince).

Closest to what you need is probably just opening the document and then pressing Ctrl+Home.

I have a simple solution for this:
Prevent okular to save the docdata
Step 1 : remove the Directory
rm -r ~/.local/share/okular/docdata
Step 2 : create a file preventing creation of the directory
touch ~/.local/share/okular/docdata
Now okular cannot save any docdata and will open on page 1 every time :-)
