What you say is strange. Documents is one of the directories created by
the system in every home directory. I just tried this. evince will find
any appropriate files in the Documents sub-directory in your home
directory and then give you the choice to go to other directories to
look for file to view. 

So I guess evince has going to the Documents directory first built in.
create a Documents directory in your home directory and all will be
well.
