Adobe PDF form viewable, fillable and ability to email on mobile devices

I have a PDF form that works fine on a desktop when email to an applicant. However, I can't figure out how to make it available on mobile devices? My button to email it gets lost and the formatting is all over the place. I'm a beginner and getting the form to work on a desktop (has mandatory fields) took me three weeks with lots of YouTube help. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I've attached the form as a reference.

What app is being used on the mobile device to view the PDF form?  

If you want it to work on mobile the user has to use a good mobile viewer, such as Adobe Reader, or REaddle PDF Expert.  And you can only used form and scripting features that work on these mobile viewers.

Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing if the applicant has any type of PDF viewer. But in my testing on my iPhone, it wasn't working, and I have Adobe on my phone. The view was horrible and the submit button to send via email was not there.

Thank you for this information, I had no idea. Is there a workaround for the user to email it back to us?

The submit action using the email URI should work on mobile.  But you'll need to remove the "execute a menu item" action. 

But this will only work on a compliant PDF viewer.
