Predefine Annotations

ComPDFKit PDF SDK has default values for some annotation properties, such as colors and line widths for ink annotations.

This is all handled in CPDFKitConfig, which is a global singleton. You can access it with CPDFKitShareConfig.

The current set of defaults is configured on the first run and saved in NSUserDefaults.
