I think the conclusion (as of last night) was that you need to run strigi to get the "File Tips" (that's what they used to be called) meta-data pop-up window.
I don't think so.

Reading this thread I just tried to enable tooltips in konqueror (Configure Konqueror - File Management - General - Behaviour - Show tooltips). It worked, although I have neither Nepomuk nor Strigi enabled in System Settings - Desktop Search - Basic Settings. Disabling these two services was one of the first things I did after installation, a few months ago.

Yet the toolip does appear for pdf files I downloaded just yesterday. The tooltip includes a preview of the first page of the pdf file.
I haven't been able to get the tooltip preview to show the contents.
One other thing I found was that the tootlip shows a preview only if the size of the file is not greater than the limit defined in Configure Konqueror - File Management - General - Previews - Local files above.
I've jacked the limit to 10M and still don't see the first page with the mouseover, just the file meta-info (comment, rating, tags, etc) even for smaller PDFs, 10K-20K. I'm not sure if this is an attribute of the file system -- no, I've just copied a 14K PDF to HOME where I can see _other_ first pages. Under 'file associations' -> applications -> pdf -> embedding I have "use settings for application group" So if it works for others in the group ... why not here?
Funny, but on the same settings page, "Show previews for" does not seem to influence konqueror - I don't have pdf files checked in this list.
