The answer is pretty clear. With formatted data, you can not do much at all further on ... unless you first strip the formatting.
So, asking for "wysiwyg" for _data_ is definitely not a good idea. There is a very distinct difference between _presentation_ and _data_.
Hope, this can help.

Unlike HTML, PDF is NOT WYSIWYG, it uses display "masking". Unless you actually change the "value" to have the $ and commas, you will not get displayed data "sent" to the server in the post only the actual value entered by your user.
Here's a question for Adobe - Why don't you give us WYSIWYG, you do for the rest of the form but not the fields. If you can change what displays surely you can change the value.
