Starting from zero in an Acrobat form?

Hello,
I can't create an encrypted form in Acrobat that accounts for the leading 0 (zero).
For example, when I enter "0110" in a 4-digit field, Acrobat removes the leading "0" and shifts everything to the left; resulting in > "110". The result is thus incorrect.

How can I account for the "0"?

I am using Acrobat Pro version 10.1 on Mac OS 10.6.

Looking forward to your help!
Emmanuel.

Configuration: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) / Chrome 22.0.1229.79

As a number, you have the ability to force the field to display with "0"s in front, but this will be on a justified length.

For example, 00015 will be possible, but 015 will not.

To do this, you need to set the display format with "9"s, and the display will automatically fill in with the missing "0"s according to the desired format.

Thank you contrariness,
indeed, in the text field format, I had selected "Number" which caused this issue.
By selecting "Custom" and enforcing the desired number of digits, for example for 4 digits "9999", it works very well!
