Thanks for the rapid response.

I was able to set a description field using EXIFTool (on Ubuntu) as follows:

 exiftool -Description="Testing description metadata" fred.pdf

This is then displayed if you:

exiftool fred.pdf

But I have just noticed its not part of the properties displayed when I use qpdfview, so that's started to make me wonder.

Hmmm
