Arial-BoldMT contains bad /Widths

In Acrobat Pro DC (Build: 22.2.20212.0) I have begun receiving the error message "The font 'YYTJEV+Arial-BoldMT' contains bad /Widths" when I open a specific pdf form. The error does not in my experience repeat during use of this form; it only appears once, immediately after opening the document.

 

I read other posts about "contains bad /Widhts" errors and unsuccessfully attempted to resolve this error following posted suggestions. I've used File> Properties> Fonts to display "Fonts Used in This Document" and I see 3 occurences of the font "Arial-BoldMT (Embedded Subset) Type: TrueType (CID) Encoding: identity-H in that list. In the event it may be relevant, there is one font in the document properties font list that does not appear to be embedded: Arial, Type: TrueType, Encoding: Ansi, Actual Font: ArialMT, Actual Font Type: TrueType. My document properties font list offers no means to "go to" a specific font in the list. My question is this: is there a means to locate the specific fields or text currently using "Arial-BoldMT?" It's a 15 page form with many fields and a lot of text.

Correct answer ODuinn

After the post concerning Arial-BoldMT contains bad /Widths, later today I began receiving error messages when attempting to print other pdf forms. The messages appeared in this order, :

 

1. The document could not be printed. 

     [clicked OK, then ...]

2. There were no pages selected to print.

     [clicked OK, then ...]

3. Cannot extract the embedded font 'HWTKDD+TimesNewRoman,Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

 

This occurred with forms that have worked well for several years and have not been changed. Because these pdf forms were only 1 or 2 page forms, I easily changed the font from all occurrences of Times New Roman to Times Roman, after which I received the same messages identifying the new font as "ELXKRE+Times'. Some characters may not display or print correctly"

 

The problem is compounding and crippling.

To the best of my knowledge I did not mark my follow up as the correct answer and I don't know how it was marked as "correct." My follow up is not an answer to the question I posted, it's just additional information. I still have this problem and need a solution.
