Add a Dropdown/Pick a Date Calendar to Interactive PDF

Hi there,

Is it possible to add a dropdown calendar to an interactive PDF in InDesign? I am making a fillable form/interactive PDF and I currently have text fields where they can write the date, however it would be a lot nicer if "Pick a Date" was an option. Is there anyway to make this happen?

Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it is a "It cannot be done" answer

It cannot be done in InDesign.

It may be possible in Acrobat by using JavaScript. Since I'm not a forms nor a Javascript expert, I'd suggest posting in the Acrobat Forms forum:
