Invoking Telephone (Numeric) Keyboard Only in Adobe Acrobat XL Pro

Good Day!

I have been scouring the forum for a while, first time poster, long term wanna be code writer of sorts.  I am trying to create a PDF fillable form for a mileage log, In essence, I am trying to get two separate boxes in a form for mileage and a time, specifically military time.  So I would like there to be a comma in the mileage box (1,234) and nothing for the military time (0830).  Now comes the difficult part, or at least what I find is difficult.  I use this form on my phone, so I am trying to get the tab to invoke or force the telephone keyboard on an IOS device, i.e. 1-9 keyboard only.  I know it is possible because when I switch the format to telephone or zip code, that format prompts for the telephone keyboard on my IOS. 

I only have access to Adobe Acrobat XL Pro.

Please help, I am losing sleep over this...

Thanks in advance for your time.

Troy

Set the Format of the first field to Number with the period as the thousands separator and the second field to Number with no thousands separator and 0 decimals for both fields...

Try67,

Thanks for helping me out, we are getting closer.  When I do what you suggested below is how it looks:

I am trying to get this keyboard forced out of it (Below).  I can when I enter zip code for the format.  But that won't allow me to enter military time or the mileage accurately.  Any more help would be greatly appreciated.
