I have a textbox field with format set to none. From the form am assigning some numeric value like"0123". After assigning the value if do getField for this textbox from the JavScript console, the value I get is "123"? Why? What should I do to get the value as "0123", without changing the format for the textbox?

Acrobat is returning "123" because it's assumeing that this is a number. Use the "valueAsString" property instead.

this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;
