set default font when preparing a form Acrobat DC

Question

So, I exported a for from Microsoft Word to adobe acrobat, and what I wanted to do was "prepare" the form (a.k.a. make the pdf editable with text boxes) using the "prepare form" add on in adobe acrobat DC. Once I do this the default font is always set to Helvetica, but i would like to change this to Arial. itried setting the default font in the preferences menu but no luck. Does anyone know how t accomplish this?

What are the reasons that you want to change it to Arial? This is almost always a bad idea as it add significantly to the file size (because the entire font gets embedded, at times more than once) while Acrobat/Reader use a private version of Arial in place of Helvetica.
