I am using Acrobat X Pro for Mac. I have created a form and have a couple of fields where users can enter a number. When the form is first opened, there is a default value of 0 in the fields. If the user makes a mistake and has to delete a number from the field, I want the default value to reappear, instead of leaving the field blank. Is there a way to make that happen?
 
TIA

Acrobat Pro 10.0.2, Macintosh

Calculate event:
if (event.value=="") event.value = 0;

If you want just a general script that will set the default value, use this instead:

if (event.value=="") event.value = event.target.defaultValue;
