I have the same issue. Different pdf files open differently. Some open small, some larger than the screen, some have the side pane open, some do not. Some I have to enlarge a bunch of times to be able to read them. I have similar issues with the document viewer in Windoze. I guess it is the nature of pdf files and the original document and method of exporting to pdf. I, too, have hundreds of documents in pdf and open some of them frequently. Most of them seem to remember how I resized them when I reopen them, many of them return to the page I was viewing when I last closed them. C'est la vie.
