Set tool and object properties
The Properties toolbar is a dynamic toolbar that you can use to easily change the default property settings for a specific tool or object, such as form fields, hypertext links, and media clips. In Adobe Reader you can only set tool and object properties when you open a document with additional usage rights.

• |  | Select a tool, such as the Note tool or Stamp tool.

• |  | Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) on an object you have created to open the Properties dialog box or Properties toolbar.

4. | To make settings apply to future objects of the same type, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and select Make Current Properties Default (Note tool) or Use Current Properties as New Defaults (Forms tool). These settings remain in effect until you change them.
