Thanks for the bug report. The widget that displays this information is provided by Nepomuk. It might help if you could attach a problematic file.
Created attachment 82250 [details] problematic PDF file PDF v1.5 where the title appears garbled in nepomuk (dolphin).
This for me correctly displays "Inhalt der LV" as the title. The title shown is the text in the largest box on the first page, extracted using poppler, because the real pdf title is "Powerpoint-Prasentation". If it works correctly for you for other files with similar titles that just have a different pdf version, this looks like a poppler bug (nowhere in nepomuk do we know about the pdf version - poppler handles that). I suggest you find a way to update poppler to a fixed version - I have 0.24.1, which seems to work.

Thanks for checking. Unfortunately previous Ubuntu versions never get an update to libpoppler (Kubuntu 12.10 is currently on 0.20.4), so I guess I will have to live with it or do a dist-upgrade.

Thanks for the bug report, anyway.
