Why does font size & alignment in fields get altered from original (AcroForm fields)?  There's nothing in the code that modify the field's properties.

For example, this one AcroForm field property have Font Size set at 10 & is Center aligned.  When this PDF get generated, the Font Size end up as 4 & is left aligned.  For some reasons, all of those AcroForm fields' properties setting aren't being preserved.

            for (int p = 0; p < pdfApp.PageCount(); p++)
            {
                // https://developers.foxitsoftware.com/kb/article/programmatically-extract-form-field-data-pdf-files/
                // http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/how-to-use-parent-child-fields_topic3702.html

                pdfApp.SelectPage(p);

                for (int fieldIX = 0; fieldIX < pdfApp.FormFieldCount(); fieldIX++)
                {
                    var fieldName = pdfApp.GetFormFieldTitle(fieldIX);
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(fieldName))
                    {
                        if (fieldName.EndsWith("."))  // This indicate we have AcroForm field-name duplications.  (FoxIt Quick PDF append the "." to it for unknown reasons).
                        {
                            fieldName = fieldName.Substring(0, (fieldName.Length - 1));
                        }

                        bool isString = true;  // Do we really need this?  (It is unused here & can be moved inside this "SendDpValuesToPdf" method instead).
                        var fieldResult = _formService.SendDpValuesToPdf(fieldName, formWriter, ref isString);
                        if (fieldResult.Value != null)
                        {
                            var fieldValue = fieldResult.Value;

                            pdfApp.SetFormFieldValue(fieldIX, fieldValue);
                            pdfApp.UpdateAppearanceStream(fieldIX);
                            pdfApp.SetFormFieldDefaultValue(fieldIX, fieldValue);
                            for (int childIX = 0; childIX < pdfApp.GetFormFieldKidCount(fieldIX); childIX++)
                            {
                                var tempIX = pdfApp.GetFormFieldKidTempIndex(fieldIX, childIX);
                                pdfApp.SetFormFieldValue(tempIX, fieldValue);
                                pdfApp.UpdateAppearanceStream(tempIX);
                                pdfApp.SetFormFieldDefaultValue(tempIX, fieldValue);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                for (int fieldIX = 0; fieldIX < pdfApp.FormFieldCount(); fieldIX++)
                {
                    pdfApp.FlattenFormField(fieldIX);

                    // https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldReadOnly.php
                    pdfApp.SetFormFieldReadOnly(fieldIX, 1);
                }
            }
