How to configure Arabic calendar & Conditional drop down list

Question

Hi,Please I need your help. I want to create interactive PDF, however, I am stuck with 2 issues as follow: 1) I am trying to add the Arabic calendar to the document where it is filed in the form by clicking it and then it would show colander and pick the right date and then it is fixed or set in the form directly, however, unfortunately, I am not able to find it as there is only an English calendar, so what is the solution for it, and how to do it exactly as I explained above. 2) Also, how to create a dependant or conditional drop-down list, for example, 2 forms where in the first form I choose Fruit then the second form would show me Apple, oranges, strawberry, and I choose one of them. Please this is urgent for my work, I searched on google and no success.I have Adobe Writer also InDesign, so please how to do it on InDesign Thank you, and appreciate your support

1. There's no built-in option in Acrobat to use any date format that is not from the Gregorian calendar. You would need to create it yourself if you wanted to have it.

2. This is possible using a script. The basic code to do it would be the following, as the custom validation script of the first drop-down field:

if (event.value=="Fruit") this.getField("Dropdown2").setItems(["Apple", "Orange", "Strawberry"]);

If you're interested I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to set it up without having to write any code. You can find it here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/09/acrobat-create-dependent-dropdowns.html
