Where did the numbers format option go for text fields in Acrobat DC.

It was there this morning before the update that occurred today.

When creating a text field, the tab option to format it as a number has disappeared. I see the new drop in fields for the date but I do not see numbers.

What am I missing in the latest update?

Click on Tools - Prepare Form and then click on "More" at the right side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form".

For my education, what happened? What form style was that?

Because you select the option to "prepare the form for a digital signature", or something similar, it was converted to an EchoSign-compatible form, which limits a lot of the normal functions of a PDF form.

That is the screen I used to have. As of version 2015.020.20039 this has changed. It also will not leave that window up to do a screen grab. So this is the best image I can get. Again, all worked until yesterday afternoon.
