In Acrobat, you need to use a custom script that is quite lengthy and you need a series of hidden fields that can display all the possible combinations of days for a month.

[url=http://www.pdfscripting.com]PDF Scripting[/url] has the code and a sample.
[url=http://www.formrouter.com/tools/]Advanced Acroform Toolset[/url] from formRouter has a tool bar add on that will add a calender creation button to your tool bar and it will add all the code needed to your form.
