How to Maintain/Lock/Save properties for text box, callout, and shapes within a PDF

Often I am switching between multiple PDF documents and creating text callout box, text box, arrows, rectangles, ovals, and all shapes.  The default properties such as the thickness, color, text font type and size, etc., all need to be painstakingly reset to the individual PDF file settings to maintain the same appearance within the PDF unless by chance those features in the documents have the same properties.  It would be productive if the default properties for those items was saved with the document.  Can that be done?

    No. These settings are local to your application, not to any specific file.

    It is possible, though, to embed a script in the file to automatically apply the desired properties to all of the comments in it each time it is opened, but you would need Acrobat to do it.

    Another option is to use a script in the application to apply the same properties to all the comments in the current file. That can work in Reader.
