Hi,

I've created a form that people need to fill out. At the end there is a button that people can click to mail the filled out form to a predefined e-mailadres. This works perfectly when they download the file.

When the file is shared online as shown in the screenshot you can fill in the form but the order now button which is supposed to send the filled out form to an e-mailadres doesn't work. Is there any way that they can fill out the form online and are able to send it without having to download the file?

The form is never viewed online. It is saved as a (temporary) local file and then displayed, either inside the browser (like in this case) or using a local application. The problem is that most browsers, like Chrome, use their own PDF plugins, which are often sub-par, and block Adobe's plugins.  So the solution is to complain to the Chrome developers about their plugin and inform your users to not open the file in the browser, but to save it locally and then open it using Adobe Reader.
