Is there a work-around to get action buttons to work in chrome/edge?

Question

I need a submit (to email) button to work in chrome as it is for co-workers who do not have acrobat installed or acess to acrobat. The submit button works perfect in both acrobat and internet explorer but not everyone has acrobat (company claims cost is the issue) and not everyone has IE as it is being phased out obviously.

I know people say its a plug in issue but is there ANY known work around im desperate.

Thanks in advance

If you're trying to force the built-in Mouse Up action "Submit a form" or manually add the JavaScript app.mailMsg(true) method, it won't work.

The only web browser that you'll be able to make this work is on Microsoft Edge by using :

this.mailDoc({ 
bUI: true
 });

This method will invoke Windows to open the GUI and select which email client would you prefer to employ.

If you give it a try and it doesn't work, ensure that you set Micrososft Edge web browser in Internet Explorer Mode.
