Can't get Submit button to work - it gives 'bad parameter'. It is configured to send whole pdf to mailto:myemail.com. This is in a test pdf with just one field, and a submit button, Added another button to open a URL, which is set to the same mailto value, which works as expected, i.e. opens an empty Microsoft email (but of course does not attach the pdf).

Just tried it on my Android phone, which only has reader installed, and it works as expected. Now also tried it on another PC with only reader installed, and it gives no error, but wants me to sign in to an Adobe account. On the original PC where the pdf is created, which has Acrobat Pro installed, you cant install reader as well.

Looks to me like either Submit is only intended for people who have subscribed to Adobe and the Android success is a loophole they forget to plug, or its is a bug in Reader - hopefully, otherwise the feature is of no use to the general public, who only have Reader

Didn't give me an error. However, since it is submitting the entire PDF it will only work on Acrobat Pro.
