Submit button doesn't work in PDF file when opened in Edge!

We have created a web application that needs to show fillable PDF forms in the browser. The form is a fillable PDF that the users can ‘Submit’ to the Mailbox via Outlook, but only seems to work when the users are using Internet Explorer, but NOT in Microsoft Edge or Chrome. What is the best way to resolve this issue or if you have any information about Edge support for the PDF form submit button, that would be greatly appreciated.

Most Browsers and mobile viewers do not support interactive PDF features. But since it's your web application, consider using the Adobe Embed API.

Thanks for the note. Can you explain how does this really work in a closed environment?

It probably doesn't.  I believe the service is located on an Adobe server. But you'd need to talk to them about it.

I have a sample at this CodePen that shows how you might "submit" a PDf form to another process on your server that then emails it.

A proper submit button, with a URL starting http or https will work in many but not all browsers. Forget email, not reliable enough, handy only for testing.
