After update or maybe there is another reason, Evince do not want to open file in place where I finished to read. Have anyone experienced with same problem?

The problem is only with Evince?
Try with Gimp, etc.

Probably I can not get your idea. Before, if I opened file and have read till 200th page and then closed Evince, when I would open the file in Evince one more afterwards I would be on 200th page again. I do not know what I can check with Gimp.

Yeah, sorry, i misinterpret the issue.
I don't find anything on Internet, probably is a bug.

I didn't use evince before, but I tried installing it just now and am seeing the current behavior (not opening to the page it was on before). You might try looking at what changed recently in the evince package or its dependencies

Running Evince 2.30.0-1, and it opens on the page where I left the file. Could it be a problem with a dependency?

I switched from epdfview to Evince because of that feature and am now experiencing the same issue.
As far as I can tell it is not a dependency issue (but perhaps I need to install an additional package?).
My version is 2.30.0 (from the regular repositories).

Happened to me too after upgrade to 2.30 Gnome.
I'm not actually using the Gnome environment but openbox+tint2, so perhaps there's some Gnome specific process that must be running in order for it to memorize last position.
Update: Yes, it seems that in Gnome all is fine, but if you're using evince separately from Gnome it doesn't store it's state.
Update2: This is what I found in my .xsession-errors:
** (evince:26939): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
Seems it requires gnome-settings-daemon to run properly

I'm still having problems with evince open file state after installng gnome-settings-daemon. Is there any other step that I've missed? I've also reinstalled evince after installing gnome-settings-daemon

Evince is back to normal again. It must have been something in the updates, since I did not install any extra packages.
However, I hadn't used Evince for a few days and did -Syu a couple of times in between, so I don't know which package-update fixed the problem.

I'm glad to know that. Is better than a bug report.

Do you use the testing repository? I was some time without update
but after update I have no luck yet. I do not use testing.

@polymetr - No, I only use the regular repositories (core, extra & community).
And I have only 1 AUR package installed (Csound), but I don't this this has anything to do with this.
Maybe it is something GTK related? I have a few GTK apps installed such as Gimp.
Sorry I can't be of more help..
