Hi

All tutorials online about how to create an interactive pdf form is very straight forward and seem to work when viewed in acrobat. However the submit button with the action code "mailto:name@email.com" doesn't work or do anything when I open the pdf file in a browser.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. The fault is with the plugin used in the browser to open the PDF files. Most browsers nowadays have their own PDF plugins and don't use (or don't even support) the Adobe plugin, which is what causes a lot of issues when viewing PDF files in them. Depending on the browser you should report this issue to the developers of that plugin.
