Decimals not showing

Explorer ,
Aug 07, 2023 Aug 07, 2023

I have prepared a form for numbers to be filled in with 2 decimal places.  How can I get the form to show 2 decimal places no matter what number is typed in?
Form Field Properties are set to Number with 2 Decimal Places with a comma separator and no symbol.
See attached photo of numbers with no decimals, one number after the decimal and two numbers after the decimal.  I would like all numbers to have 2 decimals no matter what number is entered.
Thank you for your help.

The Field Properties is set to Numbers with 2 Decimal places, yet the numbers show as whole numbers or tenths without the hundreths position.

This should not happen if you've set the Format to Number with 2 decimals. Are you viewing the file in Acrobat, or elsewhere? Can you share the file with us?

I am viewing the file in Adobe.  File is attached for your reveiw.  Page Two is where the issue is happening.

Please post a full-window screenshot, as well as the exact version number of the application (you can find it via Help - About Adobe Acrobat).

did you try to fill out the numbers without typing in a decimal?
We use this form and most of the forms that get returned are whole numbers with out .00.  
Users are filling the form out with Acrobat Reader or Pro.  
I'm looking for a way to have all the numbers show .00 if the typed in number does not include numbers input after the decimal.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, I just entered "5", "6", etc.

Are you 100% sure the users are using Adobe software to fill in the form, and not something like Apple Preview, or a browser's PDF plugin?

What happens when you fill in the fields yourself in Acrobat or Reader?
