It just does that. It converts it to a number if it can. In Acrobat 5 and later
you can use the "valueAsString" field property instead. If it must work in pre-
5 versions, you can store the field value in a document-global temporary
variable in the Validate event, since "event.value" will return a string:
temp_var = event.value;
You'd then get the field value by looking at the value of this variable.
