You are mixing things. The font in PDF is Helvetica but it's not
embedded and the reader must find an alternative that in this case is
Arial but could also be Helvetica if you had the font installed in your
machine. It's the same in RTF. If you really, really need Helvetica you
must really, really buy the font. Adobe will be more than happy to sell
it to you.
