Running `gvfs- info myfile.pdf | grep meta` shows all the evince data that I was curious about.
However, I don't have a `gvfs-show` command on my machine and I couldn't find any mention of one on the web. (I did find many references to the x-gvfs-show option in '/etc/fstab'). Now I'm wondering if there is way to get a nice listing of that metadata for all my PDFs (including ones that have now been deleted with `rm`), but that is a question for the GVFS folks. Cheers!
