set default font when preparing a form Acrobat DC

[danielg62319572]

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?

You can't change the default font used by the "wizard", but you can change it afterwards, either by selecting the fields and editing their properties manually or by using a script.

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.
