Any PDF reader which remembers at which page the document was opened last time?

Question

Do you know any PDF reader which remembers the last page for each document?

The usage scenario should be something like this:

A new PDF file is loaded into the reader
The PDF file is opened on page 0
Reading, reading, reading ... Reading finished at page 37.
Reader closed ...
The same PDF file is loaded into the reader
The PDF File is opened on page 37

I don't need multiple bookmarks. Just one is enough. Any tips?

Sumatra does that to all PDF files by default.

Sumatra PDF is a free PDF, XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR) reader for Windows.

PDF-Xchange Viewer does just that (and not only for the last opened document, but all documents). In addition you can create your own bookmarks.

PDF-Xchange Viewer is freeware and a portable version is available.

Since no OS is mentioned: Preview on Mac OS X does it by default.
