I'm making a document in Indesign and exporting to PDF.  Its a interactive document and in indesign i'm using Arial Black with something like a 14 PT font for the Person who uses the PDF.  WHen i export the PDF it defaults back to normal Arial with the Leading truned back to Default.  Is there a way to embed the font of my choosing to be the Font that is used when filling out the form ?

Generally speaking it's better to add fields in Acrobat than in InDesign.

And you can't set the leading for fields in a PDF. It can only be done by the user, manually, if you enabled the Rich Text Formatting option for the field.

Form filling text is rough and ready, for filling simple forms. It isn't a way to delegate typesetting with typographic control
