  1. "Use Current Properties As New Defaults" needs to set defaults for all future doc form field properties. (this seems like a bug)

    Are you kidding? How is this not already a feature? Let's review the flow here:

    1) I open a PDF doc that I want to convert to a fillable-form.
    2) I choose Tools --> Prepare Form
    3) I accept the option to scan for all form-field auto detection.
    4) All form fields are created.
    5) I change the properties on a single field and save.
    6) I right-click on the field and choose "Use Current Properties As New Defaults".

    Now what? All of the form fields were created in step 4! How is step 6 even the least bit useful? Who thought this up? Also, doesn't the word "Default" mean the application should default to these properties in the future? Not just on this document, but on all documents in the future? WTF?
