For me and many others, it works from inside Adobe preview. However in real life it is high probability it will not work if sent to random people as a link or attachment. Google search is full of people saying it does not work. Same with WORD have a Submit the does a MAILTO:. It is the MAILTO: that has an issue. Adobe support says it call a JAVA script that needs to be installed in the PDF view/editor (like Chrome). Many people will not have that. Adobe suggest have all recipients install the free Adobe Reader. (Funny). They also said if one knew what the Java script was, that could be added to the Form. I do not understand how Adobe knows it does not work, knows a fix, but does not add it to their Action. Wondering what your experience is with random users using it. Corporate IT can control this but not the external real world. And thanks for the first YouTube I found to demo outside of Adobe.

my mails do not arrive; do you have any suggestions? Already chatted with email-host and also with adobe-chat but both could not help. also, is it possible to skip the draft-step and send it automatically on clicking?
the weird thing is that gmail works but the others don't
help is very appreciated.

Can I put a designed button on the InDesign version and then do a hidden link on top of that image to make it submit? Does that make sense? I do digital flipbooks that are uploaded as pdfs and you put invisible link buttons on them before embedding or sharing.
