Sounds like table of contents is being auto-generated by iText. If so, I am not familiar with that feature of iText but chances are that you could patch it to use one of the two suggested algorithms when building TOC.
"I found out that setting the depth to zero does not show the original numbers" What do you mean by this? Are you setting the value in String.format to 0. If you set it to 0 that is expected behaviour. You should set it to the max. number of chars you expect the field to be so it can always pad them to the same length.
