The PDF extraction is just taking PDF metadata specified in the PDF and putting it in the fields in MobileSheets. If you are asking if there is an external tool that can view PDF metadata - sure, there are various free tools you can use to do that. Adobe Acrobat can view the PDF metadata as well. This only matters if you are planning on adding metadata to PDFs before importing them into MobileSheets, or if you happen to already have PDFs with metadata in them (which isn't very common).
You asked for an example - the PDF could have composer or genre listed in it, for example. I'm not sure you need me to provide specific examples of what would be in those fields though.
As far as PDF bookmarks, bring up the bookmarks window after loading a song, and you'll see a checkbox to display all the PDF bookmarks. That would be how you would access and use those.
In regards to the tooltips, that would not be a normal gesture that anyone would normally think to do (dragging a finger over an icon to see more information about it). A long press is used in some situations for more information, but even that is still situational. I think the argument would normally be made that the icon should either be self-explanatory, or have text beside it, but there isn't always enough space on the screen for that, otherwise things start having to be placed into dropdown menus and become more tedious/slower to access.
