A plugin that could do this with a click, copying whatever's in the Calibre metadata to the PDF file, would be a real boon.
No need to for a plugin, the built-in Embed Metadata tool can do exactly what you want, including for PDF format files. You'll probably need to add it to a toolbar or menu -- or give a keyboard shortcut.

Calibre doesn't automatically update embedded metadata in format files - firstly many users like to keep their format files pristine, secondly it would impose a significant performance penalty on metadata editing.

@theducks - exiftool would modify the metadata embedded in the PDF.
