Changing the font in the interactive fields in Adobe Acrobat

I've set up a form in InDesign CC, with interactive fields. I've exported it and opened it in Adobe Acrobat and it works fine. The only problem is that I want to change the font in the interactive text fields to Arial rather than Times New Roman. How can I do this?

Go to Tools - Prepare Form and then select the fields, right-click one of them and select Properties. You'll be able to set the text font under the Appearance tab.

Hi All,

In relation to this thread,

When I change the front with a custom letter type in Adobe Acrobat/Properties/Appearance the size of my file increase significantly. When looking in the file menu/optimizing PDF, I found that the front takes up to 13000KB. How can I reduce the size of this document to make it more suitable for sending by email?

If you're using such a large font with a form field that needs to be editable by a user, there's not much you can do apart from using a font that has a smaller file size.
